It's not a bad thing, but we do have a bit of a reputation. Deserved or not, it's there. Best food in the country though. Folks here think a "barbecue" is the same thing as a "cookout."

But what is the reputation? I know about the BBQ, I have friends up north and they call sloppy joes BBQ!

Southern: not book smart, gun-toting, hunting, act before thinking, missing teeth, barefoot, dirty mobile home, etc. It's another undeserved stereotype perpetuated by TV. Seen My Name is Earl? I hate that image, but it's what folks expect.
Ok, thread hijack over now. We can have southern 101 on another thread .

If I were him, I would have said "I would like for you to address me as Brigadier General Michael Walsh, its a title I have worked hard for" and see what she said!!
