Kathy Gallagher
Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.
There are 5000 types of snakes and 4998 live in South Carolina.
There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in South Carolina,
plus
a couple that nobody has seen before.
Squirrels will eat anything.
Unknown critters love to dig holes under tomato plants.
Raccoons will test your crop of melons and let you know when they are
ripe.
If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites.
A tractor is NOT an all-terrain vehicle. They do get stuck.
"Onced" and "Twiced" are words.
It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.
Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.
People actually grow and eat okra.
"Fixinto" is one word.
There aint' no such thing as "lunch." There's "dinner" and then there's
"supper."
Sweet tea is appropriate for all meals, and you start drinking it when
you're two.
"Backards and forwards" means, "I know everything about you."
"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is.
You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

day.
3. You see a car running in a store parking lot with no one in it no
matter
what time of the year.

grain, insect, or animal.

six pages for local gossip and sports.

or
"Off to Wally World."
15. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good pinto-bean
weather.
16. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop...it's a Coke,
regardless of brand or flavor. Example: "What kinna Coke you want?"
17. Fried catfish is the other white meat.
18. You understand these and forward them to your friends from SC (and
those
who just wish they were).
