Why I Love Vassar, MI (and other small towns)

[msumusicman]

I was waiting in line at RiteAid today picking up a few assortments of things, none of which are important to this story, and had an experience that you may or may not find funny. I found it hilarious, but my sense of humor isn't like most people's. Anywho, this lady in front of me at the store was also buying a few objects...some candy bars and a

Story of My Life

Since I also live in a small town in South Carlina, your story draws many parallels. In fact, my stories are worse than yours because these poeple are 1) From the South (they don't think the Civil War is over), uneducated (ranked 48th in the US for horrible schools)AND poor (ranked 48th for it's disastrous economy. "Damn Yankee" is a phrase said when angered by the "fast, smart Northerners." I have adopted, "Damn Yankee" as my callsign, just to anger as many of them as I possibly can. If I could find a Union flag, I would display it prominently in my front yard. The irony is when I see black people waering the Confederate flag as fashion "beliefs," to which I ask aloud..."Do you realize that the South wanted to keep you enslaved? You also must realize that the flag you are wearing is not your "heritage," but a poignant example of racism at it's finest?" I know this state is poor, but a little American History can go a long way.

Awww...she sounds special. I think I'm going to stop reading directly and start watching as much television as a person can. The funny part is; I know of whom you are speaking and the reason she had to go to Rite Aid is because Shop Incorrectly doesn't sell liquor. To tell you my own tale of humor and delight as I was driving home from work or someplace worthless the other day I was stopped at a red light just minding my own business and -wait it was morning! I was on my way back from breakfast!!- when all of a sudden I saw a man on a motorized scooter scooting down the sidewalk with two cases of PBR on the floor and about four packages of bacon and other assorted meat products in the basket. So I also did much like you and tooted my horn, gave him a warm smile, and a friendly, you're poor and alcoholic wave.
