[CS-FSLUG] Southern Hospitality

[Fred Miller]

I've experienced "southern" Christianity. I'm not saying that all southerners 
are like this, but I've met many who CALLED themselves "Christian" when they 
obviously weren't. At any rate, this is a little humor while making a point 
about being racist.

In the mid-60's, a US Navy cruiser stopped in Mississippi for a week's shore 
leave.  The first evening, the Captain was more than a little surprised to 
receive the following letter from the wife of a wealthy plantation owner:

"Dear Captain, Thursday will be my daughter Melinda's coming- of-age party.  I 
would like you to send four well-mannered, handsome, unmarried officers to 
attend the dance. They should arrive at 8 p.m., prepared for an evening of 
polite Southern conversation and dance with lovely young ladies. 
 
One last point: No Jews - We don't like Jews."  

Sure enough, at 8 p.m. on Thursday, the lady of the house heard a rap at the 
door which she opened to find, in dress uniform, four exquisitely-mannered, 
smiling black officers.  

Her lower jaw hit the floor, but pulling herself together, she stammered, 
"There must be some mistake." 

"Madam," said the first officer - "Captain Goldberg doesn't make mistakes."
