For the record, this could have happened anywhere.
Anecdote submitted by northernguy from...wait for it..."the north":
"When I got an assignment to work in Atlanta, Georgia area (Alpharetta, to be exact) there were a lot of jokes between my friends and I about working in the south. The redneck jokes were the order of the day. When I went to Atlanta, I was sure I would not run into the stereotypes I'd heard in all the jokes. But as a matter of fact, that's exactly what happened.
Alpharetta, in particular, is quite cosmopolitan. [editor's note: seriously? no offense, but you need to get out more.] After a few weeks being there, I had forgotten all about the jokes. Until I'm waiting in line to go see a movie one day, and the guy in front of me approaches the booth and asks, "At what time does the five o’clock show start?"
The kid inside the booth replied, in a very matter-of-fact voice, "Five o’clock".
That’s my true southern boobs story for you. Welcome to the site."
Thanks, Northern Guy! Any stories that make residents of my hometown look dumb and uneducated are always welcome and embraced.

Haha! I love people like that.
The last time I went down south I realized that I was the only one in a diner that wasn't eating biscuits and gravy... and the place was packed.
