Number 1 was used on the Frasier show, of all places.

That is Roz’s response to a rich guy when he asked for a discount on Christmas paper she was selling for her daughter.

It’s a darn funny line though, wherever it is used.

Only she said, “everything but my bracelet.”

Why are there never any Yankee jokes?

Because even after repeating and explaining multiple times, you can't get a yankee to laugh. They have no sense of humor.

There were actually 4 wisemen. But the fourth was turned away for bringing a fruitcake.

2 college freshman girls Are moving their dorm at Harvard.

One girl is from Alabama and the other from Connecticut.

The southern girl strikes up conversation and says , “where y’all from?

The Connecticut girl says “I’m from a place where we know better than to end a sentence in a preposition.”

The Alabama girl replies “Well bless your heart, I’m so sorry! Where y’all from, Beyotch?”

"Why are there never any Yankee jokes?..... 😁 " We don't need them, their actions speak volumes. Bless their little Yankee hearts.

I have a cousin in Decatur. His girls have graduated now, but at one time, one kid was attending Auburn. The other at the University of Alabama.

Yikes. I’m from Texas. I understand that is like have one kid at UT. One at Texas A & M.

Man was driving through Alabama, down about Montgomery. He had a flat tire so he pulled off the road beside the road-side canal where a man was sitting atop a wall beyond the canal. A sign below the man on the wall identified a large brick building in the distance as a home for the insane.

As the man removed the lugs from the wheel with the flat he placed them in a tray from his trunk, left there by his wife when she returned from a bridal shower. As the man removed the last lug, he stood up and proclaimed, "There, all five are off." But he accidentally stepped on the edge of the disc and the four lug nuts in the tray were flipped into the roadside canal and lost.

As the man cursed under his breath, he wondered out loud, "How am I gonna get to Selma now with just one lug nut?"

The man sitting on the wall suggested, "Why not take one lug from the other three wheels then secure the spare with the one in your hand and the three borrowed from the other wheels?"

The driver was amazed and knew it would let him drive to where he could get extra lug nuts. "So I don't get it," he offered to the man atop the wall, "That idea is brilliant, so why are you in that Asylum?"

As the man on the wall prepared to jump back down and return to the asylum he explained, "Oh I'm crazy fer shur, but I anin't stupid."

A guy walks into a cafe in Georgia, sees another guy sitting at a table and staring at him, and says, “How do?”

The guy at the table doesn’t answer.

The first guy asks the owner, “What is it with that guy at the table? He handicapped or something?”

Owner: “Yeah.”

First guy says, “So sorry to hear that. What’s his problem?”

Owner: “He’s a little slow. He’s from up North but he doesn’t know it yet.”

(Just came back from a road trip from Boulder City, Nevada, to NYC, southern route, and we didn’t hit bad manners until Virginia.”)

It was wonderful to see this country one more time before I’m gone. I’d forgotten a bit how vast and beautiful it is. The people are amazing, either all on their own or because they love God.

No slur meant to Virginia. It stayed that way all the way up.

There’s a youtube video where someone did just that.

Must have been a blue county.

Could have been, can’t remember. I’ll ask the folks I was with if they recall. It was one of those little towns with charming historic buildings. We stopped at a cafe.

You are more right than you know. Louisiana is at least 40 years behind in everything, I promise you.

A Texan once visited New York for several days. He felt a little daunted at first by the tall buildings and crowded streets. After a few hours traveling around to see the major landmarks he realized he was lost and realized he'd have to engage one of the locals in conversation.

"Excuse me, sir," he said to a well-dressed man walking out of an office building, "I'm a bit lost. Can you tell me where Times Square is at?"

The gentleman recognized the Texas accent, frowned, and decided to use this opportunity to teach the Texan a lesson.

"I'll tell you," he said, "but you first have to ask me in proper English. This isn't Texas. Here in New York we know that you cannot end a sentence with a preposition like you just did. Now try it again, and do it correctly this time."

The Texan thought for a moment, then said: "Can you tell me where Times Square is at, @SSHOLE?"

In the sixties up north they used to tell Polack jokes. When I moved to Texas in the 70s, I heard the same jokes but were about Aggies.

As a proud southerner I find these funny. Anyone who is “striving for equality” can start by laughing at jokes about the group they identify with. Until you can do that, you aren’t my equal - and I can’t do anything to fix that problem for you.

Why don’t southern women like to have group sex?

Because they don’t want to have to write all of those thank you notes.
