You're smarter than you look Would not stand a chance. To borrow from Lynyrd Skynyrd, you got that right!
A man's gotta know his limitations... and I think you got that down, lol.

How about opportunities instead of limitations.

I think you need to know both. Opportunity rarely knocks more than once, gotta be ready for it. How much further do you want to take this, James? (You can plead the 5th again, if you like. )

I never felt out of place seeking opportunity. Some opportunities may require permission or risk. Many are safe. As long as my southern wife says it is OK, then all is well, ha. If she doesn't, then I end up sharing the house w/one of those gals in the video on steroids.

When was in the army, the Boston boy's accents gave me fits ( whatever happened to the letter "O" guys? Baasten? ? And for some strange reason, they referred to their gals as "trees". They never would explain that one to me *L*.....Mel I worked for a year in Boston as an electrician. - Had to get a whole new set of tools: * Hammah, * Screw drivah, * Centah punch, * Wiah cuttahs, * Pliahs, . . . "Pak yah cah in Havad yahd." "R's" are saved up and pop out in the most unexpected places "Warshington." ALL soft drinks are "tonic." Everyone wanted to hear MY WEIRD ACCENT.

Yep, they liked to hear your weird accent Dave. It's a unique country, lots of accents.

Fish Camp Womern. This guy is a good time. He don't wear the big sideburns anymore. Seen him just a few months back at little bar in St Louis. Has funny songs but his guitar work is as good as it gets.

My Great Aunt Libby use to say "Well I declare" ! This lady had the Southern accent ! She used most all the Southern slang that was known. She used "Well I declare" every time someone told her something that did not quite seem right ! Loved her dearly !

Here's a couple of rhymes about South Georgia towns. Shared these with jamesp a while back. "Went to Meigs and bought some eggs, Went to Pelham and couldn't sell 'em, By the time we got to Cotton damn thangs were rotten." My dad grew up in Lenox, Georgia and here's one he would say: "Adel is so close to hell that you can see Sparks."

I have lived in the South a long time and call it home, but I was raised by a died in the wool Mainer- Dad was raised in Oakland, CA (Back in the day, of course.) When we moved down South after 5 years in RI, Mom refused to let us say y'all- it was a filthy dirty word to her. We weren't allowed to refer to elders as Miss or Sir, either. She's cringe now to hear me speak. I say things like usedtacould, reckon, a spell, etc. Jeez, she would smack me in the mouth and I'm 50 something! She was so anti-anything-south. Never really understood it.
