Absolutely. It's about time that Cong...wait, that was 'sarcasm', wasn't it? My momma warned me about sarcasm when I was just a youngster. Said it starts out with sarcasm, which leads to 'irony', which leads to unreconstructed Yankeeism. You almost got me there. Nice try, but I'm wise to you now.
Cormac McCarthy, James Agee, Harper Lee, Truman Capote, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Conner, Tennessee Williams, Eudora Welty, Mark Twain, and countless other Southern writers would strongly disagree with your momma about irony.
To be Southern is at its very core to be steeped in irony.

My momma didn't read any of those. She loved Lewis Grizzard. I've never read him, so I don't know what his humor is like.
I did just re-read 'As I Lay Dying' a couple weeks back. It's easier than 'The Sound and the Fury' (if not by much) and still sounds impressive when hitting up girls at the cotillion.
