The tennessee joke was a good one, but even hillbillies make fun of bigger hillbillies that say ID. (eyedee)

And of course southerners have a sense of humor, every one I know has one. Only problem is its different than other parts of the country, our sense of humor often offends people when that wasn't our intention. very sarcastic in a funny way. Think of Bill Engval or how ever you spell his last name damit.

There sure seem to be plenty of folks who seem to be working at getting their tongues, lips, and teeth around plain old English words working in the North however. Mostly they’re good folks, but for the liberal ones who want to screw things up royally. I reckon I may move a bit east in retirement (can’t really go west anyway), and I sure ain’t moving south. eek

Back in the 80’s while still in school, had a NJ friend that went with me to my Granny’s house in the mountains of TN. When we stopped fer gas on the way up this one particular windy mountain road, I advised him to stay in the car, but he didn’t listen. It was mid-January, long before Global Climate Change (yuk-yuk-yuk……….), and when he got out to speak with the man pumping gas. Friend: “Cold enough for youse-guys?” Station owner stared at him for a long moment and replied, “Dun’t know the temp-uh-cher sonny, but the snot done froze in my noze.” My bud got in without another word said. We rode about 10 miles before he finally said “You were right.”

I once worked for a company that had relocated from the city of Boston to Clinton, SC (population at that time about 8K, tops). The owner said that not knowing any better, he and his wife took their Saturday night to go grocery shopping, and the only place to do that locally was Wal-Mart. While standing in line, these two VERY country gals were talking in front of them. Girl 1: “Hey, is you goin’ to the Sivver-War Re-in-ack-mint tomorroah?” Girl 2: “Nawt. I reckon we just gonna drink beer. Hey, wut wuz that Silver-War about anyway?” Gal 1: Dun’t you know nuttin’? That’s when all thim Dang Yankees came down here to take our Silver!”

Both are true stories

Southerners have a great sense of humor, once you explain the joke to them...

Idahoans have an even better sense of humor, once they get the potato (tater in the south) outta their butts

We have a columnist in the local paper who ran a whole column about how we needed more potato jokes. Point being that for decades Idaho was about the least known state in the Union. If anybody did know anything about Idaho (not Iowa) it was something about potatoes.

Then a bunch of big mouth magazines started running stories about what a great place to live it was. How there was so little crime, so much public land to enjoy and what a great place it was to raise a family that a whole lot of folks started moving here. They told their friends what a great place it was and their friends moved here, and suddenly you got shopping malls and subdivisions in places that used to have terrific pheasant hunting.

We really need more potato jokes so people will think "Idaho?" and just laugh. And not even think of moving here.

So if you know any good potato jokes, we'd all really appreciate it if you could spread them around.

Sounds like what happened to you happened to us about 20 years ago

Good to see you have a sense of humor, no need to tell me anything about where the tater is
