Pete,
My darling wife is from North Carolina. There three things you must
love if you live in the South. Pork BBQ with coleslaw on a sandwich,
Sweet iced tea and Banana Pudding for desert. Couldn't be better. Fine
living indeed.

Mike...Are you from the "south"...There seems to be some kind of
connection between southerners and banana pudding...I became aware of
this a couple of years ago when I was visiting my son who lives in
Georgia...He attends a small "Community Church" which is pastored by a
fine southern gentleman ....who wears his hair in the same manner as I
do (don't have any)...In every sermon which I have heard him preach
there has never been one into which he did not inject a reference to
"Banana Pudding".
In some other venue I heard someone whom I knew was from the south
mention his undying love for BP...
Well I just thought I'd throw that it at no extra charge.
Pete

Small bills please, or maybe banana pudding and several spoons.
