Only in the south
September17
This just made me laugh.
Nervous Charlie’s Market/Gas Station/Fireworks outlet and Souvenir shop.

Southerners like their religion. I’ve been quite surprised to find that the question “where do you go to church” is often one of the first 5 things someone asks upon meeting. In my 30+ years in the north, I don’t think anyone ever asked me that.
The south uses the highway to attempt to save you from eternal damnation. In the north we figure if you want to go to hell it is really none of our business – just get out of the left lane if you aren’t passing.
ROFL…………..I can’t stop laughing……………..That is sooooooo the truth!!! We moved from Minnesota to Virginia 10 1/2 years ago and we soooooo see it all the time and they drive horrible and always in the left lane so you can’t get by!!!!

i was driving in oklahoma and saw a sign that said “ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR….OR REGRET IT FOREVER!!!” seriously. nervous charlie sells fireworks? funny!
YUP…..so true! Finding a catholic church in the south is quite difficult as well, I finally found one and it certainly isnt as traditional as I am used to from the North! ๐ Oh and the reaction you get when you tell people you are Catholic (because you are right, they do ask upon meeting you) is quite funny as well! Gotta love it!
Yes when I lived in northern FL I was invited to church many times by random strangers.
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Westerners are like northerners…we just don’t care what you do if it doesn’t affect us.
I live smack dab in the middle of the US so I guess I am normal.
So true. Love the comment on “get out of the left lane if you’re not passing”. Yup. That’s about the attitude.
hahahahahaha!!!
Ha, never thought about it-i’ve always seen fireworks,gas, souveners,video poker, signs all around me. Guess everyone is missing out!
life in the south…nothin’ better.
My favorite sign here is the “ammo outlet” sign off a nearby interstate.
Ack! We are thinking of moving out to NC….
Can you imagine me with those signs?
Bahahaha/
I LIVE in NC and the signs are insane. There is a church just outside our neighborhood that puts up ridiculous signs every other week. My fave: “Think it’s hot here, imagine your eternal damnation” Nothing like fear to get you to love the Lord!! LOL LOL LOL
And the question we get here is “Have you been saved?” because apparently it isn’t enough to GO to church, you must also have a date in time in which you accepted JC as your personal savior. It’s kinda creepy. (to me)
And I think it’s a law in SC that if you have a small private gas station you MUST sell fireworks. Every station I’ve ever been too did. (i live on the border between NC & SC)
I love living in the south…..at least the church question is asked by the NICEST people on this planet!
OMG! I know exactly where those signs are! Were you on 24 (or is it 65?) going towards Kentucky? I cracked up when I saw those on our way to Chicago a few months ago. I said the same thing about Nervous Charlies ๐
“..just get out of the left lane if you arent passing.” BWAHAHAHAHAHA.. Snort.. HAHAHAHA.
