“Okay, let鈥檚 pretend to be friends. Just two friends having dinner.鈥� 鈥淭hat doesn鈥檛 work in the South. A male friend cannot have dinner with a female friend if the male friend has a wife. It just doesn鈥檛 work down here.鈥� 鈥淲hy not?鈥� 鈥淏ecause men don鈥檛 have female friends. No way. I don鈥檛 know of a single man in the entire South who is married and has a female friend. I think it goes back to the Civil War.鈥� 鈥淚 think it goes back to the Dark Ages. Why are Southern women so jealous?鈥� 鈥淏ecause that鈥檚 the way we鈥檝e trained them. They learned from us. If my wife met a male friend for lunch or dinner, I鈥檇 tear his head off and file for divorce. She learned it from me.鈥� 鈥淭hat makes absolutely no sense.鈥� 鈥淥f course it doesn鈥檛.鈥� 鈥淵our wife has no male friends?鈥� 鈥淣one that I know of. If you learn of any, let me know.鈥� 鈥淎nd you have no female friends?鈥� 鈥淲hy would I want female friends? They can鈥檛 talk about football, or duck hunting, or politics, or lawsuits, or anything that I want to talk about. They talk about kids, clothes, recipes, coupons, furniture, stuff I know nothing about. No, I don鈥檛 have any female friends. Don鈥檛 want any.鈥� 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what I love about the South. The people are so tolerant.鈥� 鈥淭hank you.”
