"You got guts"
the funniest thing happened to me on the way home from dragon con and I have to share it with you. Fred and I headed back to Tampa from Atlanta around 11:45 am. We weren't hungry so we drove as far as we could (I drove). Around 4:30pm I was feeling hungry so we stopped in Valdosda at the Cracker Barrel for dinner. I got my steak free because I ordered it medium rare and got it well done. I didn't complain because I was hungry by then and just wanted to eat. The manger asked how dinner was and when I told him that the steak was not cooked the way I ordered he said he could have a new one out to me soon, I said it was ok I didn't want to wait. The waitress pointed out that the steak was free and that I was only charged for the veggies. That was kool. While we were eating I did notice that there was an older man sitting in view on me that seemed to get agitated at me when ever he was looking at me. I just thought he was being strange but didn't think anything of it. Now here is the funny part I went to the cashier to pay for meals. I handed her my bill and a creidt card. Her response to me was "You got guts". I said I beg your pardon.
She said "your shirt, You got guts". I looked down at my shirt, It read "MINE'S TIGHTER" I laughed and said "It refers to corsets" She said "That's alright YOU GOT GUTS" she continued "I was thinking your not from around here and you just don't know where you are" she leaned forward to me and said very sincerely "You'r in Georgia in the Bible belt" "You got guts" "you're lucky it's not Sunday because they come in here and yell at me for working on Sunday" "They would put you in a mud puddle and give you a iron rod" as she pointed at the rain outside. "but you got guts" I then looked over as Fred was coming out of the men's restroom wearing his normal purple skirt and just smiled at her and said thank you. Now picture this conversation with a very drown out southern draw...
