I Don't Care Who You Are, That Right Thar is Funny!

My daughter sometimes gets razzed by her friends and our Education Rabbi cuz she has a tendency to say "ya'll" when she's referring to one or more. And when she's talking about a whole group she'll through out a double "ya'll" as in "all ya'll".

Sadly, she was born here in Illinois. Lucky for her is that her dad (me!) was born in the grand Republic of Texas. And while I didn't live there long, I was there long enough to pass along  "ya'll" to my daughter.

So on that note, here is some humor about The South that a colleague shared with me. Evidently, he's as hard at work as I am . . .

A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. 

Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.  "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Florida State Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. 

He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. 

Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this!" and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the Corvette. 

He looked at his watch, then said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding - a reason I've never before heard - I'll let you go."

The old gentleman paused then said: "Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back. 

"Have a good day, Sir," replied the trooper.

The owner of a golf course in Georgia was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help.

He called her into his office and said, "Y'all graduated from the University of Georgia and I need some help. If I wuz to give yew $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?"

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, "Everthang but my earrings.

A senior citizen in Louisiana was overheard saying . . . 

"When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana ."

When asked why, he replied, 

"I'd rather be in Louisiana 'cause everythang happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the world."

The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"

Bubba replied, "Did y'all see who it was?"

The young man answered, 

"I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."

A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait.

A passerby studied the scene as he drove by, and was so curious he turned around and went back. 

He asked the fellow what the problem was.   The man replied, "I got a flat tahr."

The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"

The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. I never did understand it neither."

A Tennessee State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-65. 

             

The trooper asked, "Got any ID?"

           

The driver replied, "Bout whut?"

The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. 

         

The Sheriff asked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head."

                

"Yep," he replied. "That's why I'm dumpin' it here, 'cause it says: 

                                'Fine For Dumping Garbage.'"

I noticed that Texas was included in the jokes. 

I guess since the Bush family lives there the joke is already on them. 

Bless thar hearts.
