The Southern Blogs Ring was created for all those bloggers who take pride in the rich heritage of their southernness:   the south side, south of France, south of the border, southpaws, South Bend, or just plain south of center.

A proper Southern Belle was sitting on her veranda one summer afternoon, sipping iced tea and reading a novel, when a flashy red sports car came speeding up the long, winding driveway.     The driver jumped out of the car (in less than lady-like fashion) and made her way up to the veranda.     The Southern Belle recognized her as the new wife of old money and braced herself for the encounter.

"Good Afternoon," said the Southern Belle, "What brings you out for a visit."

The New Wife of Old Money said, in her grandiose fashion, "My husband just bought me that brand-new red sports car.     What do you think of that?"

To which the Southern Belle smiled and said, "Oh, My!     How nice."

The New Wife of Old Money continued by saying, "What do you think of my new jewelry?," flashing her hands covered with diamonds.     "My husband just bought all of this for me."

To which the Southern Belle smiled again and said, "Oh, My!     How nice."

Becoming a little miffed, the New Wife of Old Money said, "My husband took me on a two month tour of Europe, and we just returned.     It was wonderful."

To which the Southern Belle smiled once again and said, "Oh, My!     How nice."

Indignant and totally outraged, the New Wife of Old Money snapped at the Southern Belle and said, "Is that all you can say?     Just oh my, how nice?     What has your husband ever done for you?

To which the Southern Belle smiled and said, "Why, my husband sent me to Charm School.     So, now, every time I want to say f**k you, I merely say, Oh, My!    How nice"
