Dear SC Tourists
Welcome to South Carolina, home of smiling faces and beautiful places. We appreciate your tourist dollars and genuinely enjoy your presence around the state. HOWEVER, please note that our southern hospitality only extends as far as your politeness does. If you are rude and walk away mumbling how stupid southerners are, we are less likely to welcome you back.
Bless your heart, we know you mean well enough and probably can't help yourselves but you should probably try to exercise a little restraint and keep your dumb southerner comments to yourself. You never know when you might piss off Bobby Sue and her husband Joe Bob might chase you down on the interstate with the 5 kids in the back of the truck all trained in the fine art of how to slash your tires while you are taking a piss at the rest stop. And you know his cousins Luke and Bo, they own the towing company and the tire company that is going to come out and fix your tires for you for an "inflated" cost. Bobby Sue and Joe Bob of course will get a commission from the sell.
Also, when traveling to Myrtle Beach, Charleston or Hilton Head, please drive with care on I-95, I-26 and I-20. Your presence generally increases traffic on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays by 50 to 75%. In any other state this might not be an issue but in South Carolina, nobody knows how to drive in heavy traffic and when you cut in and out of lanes or clog on and off ramps, you cause our inexperienced drivers to loose control of their cars and wreck.
There is nothing worse than a car accident on the interstate, stopping traffic in 100 degree heat with a heat index of 115 with no available off ramp so that you can get fuel and beverages to cool yourselves. Also, we also know that when these accidents occur, rubberneckitis is very contagious in these parts thus they cause another accident on top of the already devastating accident.
Just to wrap this up real quick, thanks again for supporting our local economy and we look forward to seeing y'all.
PS. Iced tea comes sweetened like nectar from the Southern Gods with lemon. Don't get pissed off when you are served this staple beverage of the south per your request and realize that it is too sweet or that lemon is just not your thing. We are just doing our part to keep America cool and fat.
