There are some that are insane, some that are ugly, some that are obese, and some make you cringe when they open their mouths; even by my standards I cannot handle all those in one package.

I spent some time living in a 'southern' state. A visitor from Louisiana spoke about the double bagger:

You put a bag over her head - then you put one over your own in case hers falls off.
