• HeyJulieBaby got me thinking on a southern theme with a very interesting post about her family background. The same morning, two of my joke-of-the-day type emails had southern jokes in them, so I told her I would post them here in her honor.

  So without further ado, here they are …

  A redneck girl was dating a fellow in Pennsylvania named
  Clarence.

  They got into a huge fight and she told her two brothers,
  Billy Bob and Billy Jim, about it.

  They jumped into their pickup truck and headed to
  Pennsylvania to settle the score with Clarence. They reached the state line and after passing under an
  overpass, Billy Bob made a quick U-turn and headed back toward home.

  Billy Jim asked why he had turned around.Billy Bob replied, “I ain’t messing around
  with that dude. Did you see that sign back there? ‘Clearance 14 feet 8
  inches.’”
  

  (Ok, that was really pathetic. Let’s try another.)

  RULES TO ENTER KANSAS (As a side note, I’ve never been to Kansas but I could still identify with some of these. )
  

  Applies to each person as they enter Kansas. Learn & remember: East Coast and California-types pay particular attention!
  
  1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
  
  2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
  
  3. They are cattle & feed lots. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-70 goes east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.
  
  4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $200,000 combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
  
  5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
  
  6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of pheasants are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
  
  7. Yeah, we eat catfish and mountain oysters. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
  
  8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of pheasant season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
  
  9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
  
  10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
  
  11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup. 
  
  12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
  
  13. High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
  
  14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish.
  
  15. Colleges? Try K-State or KU or abunch a' others. They come outa there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come home for the holidays.
  
  16. Anhydrous Ammonia is used as a fertilizer! Let us catch you trying to "cook" something with it and we will "cook" your you-know-what!
