Joe Dirt country. I knew two folks from the "pork chop" who went to see Joe Dirt because they all "knew somebody like that" when they were growing up in North Florida.
Saw the film with Dean Martin. I also had a coworker who also had Professor James Jones at FIU.
As I stated, the book has no real relation to the movies. Two different things. BTW, there was also a section in the book dealing with small town political corruption. Quite interesting.
You saw the film with THE Dean Martin???
Man,you ran in some cool circles.
