Old Timers

An 80 year old man went to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor was

amazed at what good shape the guy was in.

The doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?"

The old timer said, "I'm a turkey hunter and that's why I'm in such good

shape. I'm up well before daylight and out chasing turkeys up and down

the mountains."

The doctor said, "Well, I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more

to it.  How old was your dad when he died?"

The old timer said, "Who said my dad's DEAD?"

The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your dad's still

alive? How old is he?"

The old timer said, "He's 100 yrs old and, in fact, he went turkey

hunting with me this morning, and that's why he's still alive . He's a

turkey hunter!"

The doctor said, "Well, that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it.

How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?"

The old timer said, "Who said my grandpa's dead?"

The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's

still living!  How old is he?"

The old timer said, "He's 118 yrs old."

The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "I suppose he

went turkey hunting with you this morning, too?"

The old timer said, "No... Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he

got married."

The Doctor said in amazement, "Got married!! Why would a 118-year-old guy

want to get married?"

The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?"

It Ain't My Fault

Late again," the third-grade teacher said to little Sammy. "It ain't my
fault," Miss Crabtree.  "You can blame this on my dad. The reason I'm
three hours late? Dad sleeps nights in the raw!"
Now Miss Crabtree had taught grammar school for thirty-some-odd years.So
she asked little Sammy what he meant by that, despite her mounting fears.
Full of grins and mischief, and in the flower of his youth, little Sammy
and Trouble were old friends, but he always told the truth. "You see, Miss
Crabtree, at the ranch we got this here lowdown coyote.
The last Few nights HE done et six hens and killed Ma's best milk goat.
And last night, when Dad heard a noise out in the chicken pen, he grabbed his
gun and said to Ma, 'That coyote's back again, I'm a go
nna git him!'"
"'Stay back, he yelled to all us kids, I wouldn't want ya hurt!' He was
naked as a jaybird, no boots, no pants, no shirt! To the henhouse he
crawled on the snoop. Then he stuck that double barrel through the window
of the coop. As he stared into the darkness, with coyotes on his mind, our old hound
dog Zeke had done woke up and come asneakin' up behind Dad. Then we all looked
on plumb helpless as Dad was cold-nosed without warnin'."
"Miss Crabtree, we been cleanin' chickens since three o'clock this mornin'!"

Broke Is Broke

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed

young man carrying a vacuum cleaner. Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple

of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money! I'M BROKE!!!" And she proceeded to close

the door. Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open.

"Don't be too hasty!" He said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration..

"And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet. "If this vacuum cleaner

does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the

remainder." The old lady stepped back and said, "Well I hope you've got a good appetite, because

they cut off my electricity this morning."

Wise Old Indian

An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two

U.S. government officials sent to interview him.
"Chief Two Eagles" asked one official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years.
You've seen his wars and his technological advances.
You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied.
"When white man found this land, Indians were running it.
No taxes,
No debt,
Plenty buffalo,
Plenty beaver,
Medicine man and drugs free,
Women did all the work,
Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, 
Then the chief leaned back and smiled ... "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

Lion Chase

John came back from a safari in Africa.  Upon arrival, he went to his friend, Mark, and told him of his adventures.  
"I was out in the jungle," he said, "when all of a sudden I heard a noise in the bush behind me.  Looking back,

I saw a huge lion, licking his chops and smiling at me.  The lion started coming my way and I started running, with

the lion not far behind.  When the lion was almost at my neck, he suddenly slipped, and I got ahead a bit.  The lion

started gaining on me again, and as he got closer, once again he slipped.  I happened to see a house not far away,

so I made toward it.  I got close to the house with the lion almost on top of me when he slipped for a third time.

With my very last bit of strength, I ran into the house and closed the door in the lion's face."  
"That's some story there, John. I would have crapped in my pants." "Well, what do you think the lion kept slipping on?"

 

Things I learnt in Alabama

1. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Alabama. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Alabama, plus a couple no one's seen before.

2. If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites.

3. Onced and Twiced are words.

4. It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.

5. And let us never forget, it's not a garden hose or simply hose, it's a "hosepipe" (one word).

6. Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.

7. People actually grow and eat okra.

8. There ain't no such thing as "lunch". There's only dinner and then there's supper.

9. Backards and foreards means I know everything about you.

You know you're from Alabama if

1. You measure distance in minutes.

2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

3. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.

4. Visiting Wal-Mart is a favorite pastime known as "going to wal-marts."or Wal-marks.

5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.

6. You know what "cow tipping" is.

7. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, chili powder, and catsup. No genuine Alabamian ever called it "Catsup". Down here it's "Ketchup" and let's not forget pepper sauce for the turnip greens!

8. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

9. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.

10. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.

11. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop... it's a Coke,regardless of brand or flavor. Example "What kinna coke you want?"

12. Fried Catfish is the other white meat.
