THINGS I FIND DIFFERENT IN AL FROM MI.

  • "Hey" means "Hi"
  • "Tee, tee" means "Pee, pee"
  • The size of an ant hill.
  • The size of pine cones.
  • Ask for a soda or Coke if you want a pop or Pepsi.
  • Instead of a donut shop you go to a Beignet shop.
  • The sand is white in AL.
  • Road kill is armadillo instead of skunk or possum.
  • If you make a scheduled service appointment the time is seldom met.
  • The first name of most males are initials.
  • You'll never go into a hot restaurant. (I always need my sweater).
  • The time zone makes the news come on an hour earlier.
  • You can play golf all 12 months of the year.
  • In our conversation we say " We are going to take you to wherever". In AL they say "They're going to carry you to wherever".
  • You'll never see a Whooping Crane in Michigan.
  • Pine Straw (Pine needles for mulch).
  • Live Oaks with spanish moss.
  • I haven't had any, but they have fried oreos and fried pickles.
