<DIV>I bet that's it... offer a joke in the dialect of southern-born persons of
French descent, whose great-great-grandparents were transported from Arcadia by

bound to think you are making fun of the way African Americans don't talk.</DIV>

cook collard greens and fry catfish, or serve black-eyed peas for New Year's
