Two nicely dressed ladies happened to start up a conversation during
an endless wait in the Los Angeles airport.

The first lady was an arrogant Californian woman married to a wealthy
man. The second was a well-mannered, elderly woman from the South.

When the conversation centered on whether they had any children, the
California woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my
husband built a beautiful mansion for me."

The lady from the South commented, "Well, bless your heart."

The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband
bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz."

Again, the lady from the South commented, "Well, bless your heart."

The first woman continued, "Then, when my third child was born, my
husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet."

Yet again, the Southern lady commented, "Well, bless your heart."

The first woman then asked her companion, "What did your husband buy
for you when you had your first child?"

"My husband sent me to Charm School ," declared the Southern lady.

"Charm School?" the first woman said, amazed, "Oh, my God! What on earth for?"

The Southern lady responded, "Well for example, instead of saying,
"Who gives a shit?" I learned to say, "Well, bless your heart!"

I've got to remember that one.

I've shared that with a few folks at work. Left a couple of them in tears...
