Well, the only reason people seem smarter in the North is because there's a better educational system and less religious superstition that looks down on intelligence as worldly. Plus we don't marry our sisters.

You are going to give Alaskans a swelled head.

Fortunately, with the parkas, no one will notice.

The smartest people in Sweden come from the north of the country. So that's at least one thing they have in common with the continental USA.

Fixed.

They've gotta go down there to have sex with as many southern belle sorority girls as possible before returning back north to find an intelligent mate.

First of all, she's only my sister by marriage. NOT blood.

Besides, there's nothing gross about keeping things in the family. It's all relative.

Not sure on that, the south still has the Death Penalty up here we give our convicts free room and board for life. Plus they have better food down south. So seems to me the South is smarter in a few places.

Only country where the clouds are interesting
Big brother says it's the place to go

Too much time to think, too little to do
Too much time, too little to do

With grade inflation rampant at the high school level, it's the only place they can still pass.

Ahh, there's no easy trolling like make fun of the South trolling.

Probably because it's cheaper than Northern colleges. Not as much competition with the locals.

It's probably a rude awakening when they realize a couple of months into freshman year that southern girls hate guidos, too.

There is a huge difference between being educated and being smart. Some of the dumbest people I've ever met have been educated beyond their intelligence. Most of the Yankees I know are well-educated, but lack common sense.

Meh, they can just change from tacky jeans, Ed Hardy shirts, spiked hair, and gold chains to khakis, Polo shirts, a sweeped part, and croakies. As long as they maintain that smug sense of superiority no one will notice the difference. They just have to remember to yell "War Eagle" instead of "Jager Bombs".

I've lived both North and South, I'll take the milder winters, lower taxes, and laid back atmosphere of the bible belt vs the rust belt anyday. My property taxes are 1/10 of yours up there, so I don't need a part time job, or hustle, just to survive.

You forgot the most important part: THEY HAVE TO NEVER SAY ANOTHER WORD IN PUBLIC AGAIN. How y'all can listen to that accent day after day without stabbing yourselves in the eardrum is a mystery to me.
