I am a New York Jew who went south for college about half a century ago. Most of the Jews there often hung out with other Jews from their NY/FL/NJ culture. Much more interesting were the southerners. I had friends who were children of Huntsville rocket scientists and my next-door dormmate had a photo of his cow on the wall. Lotsa other characters. World's got plenty of boring, overachieving Jews, whom I grow up with.

When I was going to school, my father said, "Watch out for those southern Jews. They think their s#!t doesn't stink."

2. Heh.

Deep South. And I married a woman from Montgomery, AL. I can still tell a decent slice of pizza or a bagel, though.
