Without a single shred of doubt, Southerners have much better manners.  And 
if you live in the country areas of the South, you'll even become 
accustomed to seeing somebody raise their hand off of their steering wheel 
briefly as you pass them.  That's called a wave.  And when you get them 
from a policemen, well... you know you're in a good part of the 
country.  That doesn't mean the same policeman won't do his job next week 
and pull you over for speeding.  The courtesy and hospitality of the South 
is probably too much for some yankees, maybe even giving them a sick 
stomach. :)  Likewise, somebody from the South would probably never adapt 
to the ways up North, etc.  Hey, this is what makes life so good.  It's 
good when people stir around.
