    What if you went to university west of the Adirondacks?

    The fountain at your sister's wedding spewed beer instead of
    champagne.

Anyone ever see the "Bone City" water tank in Hudson, Mass.?

    In high school in Texas, someone did me the favor of describing
    "mud-dogging," a weekend activity performed in the company of a date.
    
    Wash your truck.  Pick up your date (unless she helped you wash the 
    truck).  Find a dirt road with a humongous mud puddle.  Drive through
    the mud puddle.  If you don't get stuck, drive through it again. 
    Repeat.
    
    I wasn't entirely sure -- if you get stuck, do you win or lose?

    You cut your grass and FIND A CAR.

"MICROSOFT UNVEILS NEW JOE-BOB(tm) SOFTWARE

by Andrew Burke

REDMOND, Wash. -- April 10, 1995 -- Microsoft today announced the
release of Joe-Bob(tm), a new software package that the company hopes
will open up a huge untapped computer market. With the motto "The
software for the rest of y'all(tm)," Joe-Bob reaches out to the same
demographic group that buys 4x4s, supports the gun lobby, and drinks
Miller Lite.

"Computers have been commonly seen as for leftists and intellectuals,"
explains Microsoft spokesperson Willy Maclean, "but we've recently
seen people like Newt Gingrinch embracing new technology -- the time
is right for the rest of America to get wired!"

Instead of a desktop or office metaphor, Joe-Bob(tm) puts the user in
a garage. "Click on the Lynyrd Skynyrd tapes, and get a complete music
library in digital stereo. Click on the pinups, and get hooked up to
the Internet's hottest gifs," the promotional materials explain.

The package does not include a word processor or spreadsheet, but does
have software that keeps track of the football season, lists the best
roadhouses between Florida and Nevada, and can even order spareribs
and beer at the click of a mouse.

"This is righteous software, man," says beta-tester Billy Grugg. "It
thinks like I think." Brad Cunningham agrees: "I take it everywhere,"
he says, pointing to a Pentium laptop racked under his 12-gauge in his
pickup truck. Microsoft is offering desktop users a special clip-on
beer holder for their monitors.

"Look at what's popular out there," says Microsoft Chairman Bill
Gates.  "Four of the top-10 Usenet newsgroups are about sex, and
splatter video games like Doom and Mortal Kombat are bestsellers.
We're just catering to a demand, that's all."

Microsoft is reportedly distributing badges and bumper stickers saying
things like "Joe-Bob: Make Your Disk Hard," "Go Microsoft -- Go Intel
-- Go America," and "QuickTime is for Pinko Hippie Wimps."

Apple declined to comment."

    A redneck gets married, but much to the surprise of his family,

    "Why?", Pa asks.
    
    "Cause she's a virgin"
    
    "What's wrong with being a virgin, son?"

     enough for ours!"

Giant Stadium in Jersey!

	Spam, the all purpose food. So many uses for the stuff, and I never
knew it was a way to identify a red neck. :-)

    GOOD MORNING WORLD. I'm long jaws.
    people have been calling me all morning wanting to know how i get my
    point across.
    that's right HOW do _I_ get my point across.
    well let me tell you dear listener this is how I get _MY_ point across
    firstly you have to repeat yourself at least , and i'm not exagerating
    here,
    _at least_ three times.
    so good listener you repeat yourself.
    now sometimes just repeating yourself may not be enough
    so here is the second method which i use if repeating youself isn't
    enough.
    take a stance.
    let me repeat that again.  YOU have to _take a stance_
    now preferably this should be simple, one-eyed and egocentric.
    now you may ask what this simple, one-eyed, egocentric stance should be
    well i'll tell you. it should be bigotted.yes that's right. bigotted
    <pause>
    if your stance is simple one-eyed and bigotted then that's good enough
    for me.
    let me ask you my faithful listener if you watched the news last night.
    well if you _had_ you would know that we have this group, well not so
    much a group as a
    PACK
    that's right!
    a _pack_ of left wing, unemployed, gun toting, peodophiles stopping
    honest ,decent
    people like you and me listener, from doing their jobs.
    so how are these bludgers stopping honest people doing their jobs.
    it's simple!
    these left wing, unemployed, gun toting, peodophiles are ruining our
    great country by .......
    etc etc  ad nauseum......
    

    
    ...if you eat sow belly, collard greens, goat tripe, ham hocks, pigs
    knuckles, possum inerds, grits, dandylion greens, buzzard eggs, crow
    gizzards, hog jowels or rocky mountain oysters.
    
    Yum yum

A fellow retired and became bored.  He decided to go back to work.
He had always wanted to be a Police Officer and he had known the
Sheriff for most of his life so....

The Sheriff says "I don't know about this, I'd better give you an
intelligence test.  How many days of the week begin with a 't'?"

Fellow says "Two. Today and tomorrow."
Sheriff: "O.k.  How many seconds in a year?"

Fellow:  "Twelve.  January 2nd, Feburary 2nd, March 2nd..."

Sheriff: "Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"

Fellow:  "I don't know."

Sheriff: "Go find out."

Fellow goes home.  His wife asks "How did it go?"

Fellow answers "Went just great!  Sheriff done give me a murder
investigation!"
