Description

Southbound offers cheerful assistance to non-Southerners, baffled by the traditions, habits and culture encountered while spending time in the southern United States. It contains a combination of practical advice ("Just because you can drive on snow and ice, does not mean we can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows".), humorous observation ("If you offer a Southerner a pop, he might pop you, just to get the first lick in".), and good-natured ribbing ("If a Southerner says that you must have fallen off the back of the turnip truck, he is referring to your obvious good health and sensible diet, including all of the important vegetables"). The authors, one a life-long Southerner, and the other a transplanted Northerner, present this collection to benefit and entertain Southerners and non-Southerners alike. If you marry a Sotherner, be prepared for the fact that you won't always understand each other. Of course, if you marry anyone, you won't anyway, so what's the difference?" "If a Southerner offers to carry you, he will not try to physically pick you up. He is only offering you a ride in his car. Had he actually been willing to tote you, he would have said so".
