Two things: 1. When I was at pre-frosh orientation at Clemson, our student guide was a very attractive Southern girl. She was telling us that we were going to head over to Edgars, which is the on-campus pub, where we could bowl, throw darts, play pool, dance, or shag. (Shag of course being the traditional dance of South Carolina.)
So I perked up the People's Eyebrow and said "Shag? Serious?" And she says "Oh yeah, you can shag in there. You ever shag before" So I says "Wow, yeah. I love to shag. I faniced a shag with you as soon as I saw you!" She gets a quizzical look on her face and so I say, "You ever see Austin Powers?" And then the look of realization comes over her face. I charmed my way out of getting slapped on that one! 2.
