Every year, my sister and I go to Florida to visit my very elderly parents. When we arrive, we always go to a restaurant called the Country Kitchen, for dinner. my mom likes it because she can get breakfast 24-7.
Every year, my sis and I have a contest. It's about how quickly after arrival at said restaurant you hear the "n" word. The "N" word is not coming from the staff...but from the patrons. It's usually less than 5 minutes...but in that 5 minutes, you hear all sorts or other words.."colored", "boy"(used to hail an adult male african-american waiter), "half-breed", etc. Winner gets a free tattoo.
Florida has spiders the size of hubcaps. It's hot, humid. No thanks. I'm certain it has its charms, but they are completely lost on me. April
