Make the Swishing Stop....

The Swishing, Oh the swishing, the sounds of spoons and forks clonking and clinging on glass -- MAKE IT STOP!!

At dinner last night I came the drastic realization I was not from the SOUTH! You see, down here there is a special drink that all LIVE on! It is called sweet tea. It is basically Iced Tea made with LOTS and lots of Sugar and the people down here kill for it!

At our banquest last night, the beverage offerings were water and tea. A very usual offering, and on every table -- being the in the south -- were lots and lots of sugar packets for all to use! Needless to say every southerner positioned around myself came back with tea and 4-7 sugar packets for their 6 ounce glass --IKES!

While that was not an issue, everytime they went to take a sip of their sugar tea, (because now it really is more sugar than liquid, they would have to swirl the sugar around with their eating utensil. Leaving me to suffer the clanking, clinging, and annoying sounds of metal on glass all night long!

I have decided that when eating in the south, take the time to make their DAMN sweet tea, or just serve water! Please??
