I was gassing my Honda del Sol with $3.29/gallon regular at Sam's Club this morning - getting the last of the comparatively cheap gas before Hurricane Gustav churns into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend and runs the price of oil up again.
A woman pulled up to a pump off to my left, spied a friend fueling her SUV nearby and hailed her with that hideous, grating, ear-splitting Southern woman greeting:
"HowrYeeeeeeeeeewwwwww!"
If I live in Arkansas for 100 years, I will never, ever get used to that over-enthusiastic, falsely cordial screech of a salutation.
The only thing worse is when the other woman replies in kind.
