My caller this morning,

Ring Ring Ring

Me: "Hello"

Caller: "Yea, do you know the number for the Jail?"

Me: "544-xxxx"

Caller: "OK, Thanks Man"

I guess it wasn't listed in the phone book under J for Jail

Must not have been a true hillbilly. He would have asked how do you all figure out the hypotenuse.:-)

> Must not have been a true hillbilly. He would have asked how do you all figure out the hypotenuse.:-)

Naw...he would have asked "how do y'all figger a hippo-noose"

No joke, there is no number listed for the Paris Police Department other than 9-11. If you want to reach them for a non-emergency, you have to dial the number listed under "rabies hotline".

"you all"??????

First off, I don't know anyone that says "you all".

Second, "y'all" is plural. If you are talking to one person and say "y'all", then you are obviously some sort of yankee. Lewis Grizzard was in a bar one night and some woman asked him, "Where are you all from?" He responded with, "I all is from Atlanta."

y'all = singular and "all y'all" = plural 😉

I stand corrected gentlemen.:-)

Tommy Would That Be?

Tommy,

Would that Paris be Texas, California, Iowa(2), Indiana, Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Caroline, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Arkansas, New York or Illinois? I am pretty sure it is not France and I suspect not Illinois nor New York.

Some think my accent is approaching hill billy and I knew what a hypotenuse was when I was in HS. I knew how to use the Pythagorean theorem before I knew what it was called.

As you have discovered, accent doesn't mean uneducated.

I love Jeff Foxworthy's rendition of a Southern-raised brain surgeon explaining to his patient how he will, "peel back da top of yer haid lak a norange".

Lewis Grizzard was a classic unto himself. He is missed by many. (Of course, many missed him while he was alive because of his motto: Aim low, boys. They're ridin' Shetland ponies.)

Snoop

both funny.

Tommy Would That Be?

That would be Tennessee.

Voulez Vous, Barbeque.

"Now what we gonna do is saw the top of your head off and root around in there with a stick and see if can't find that dang clot."

Better yet is when he talks about interviewing the woman after the tornado:

"It was pandelerium. I thought we'd be killed or even worse. I looked up saw the chicken coop flying over our head and all I could think of was Thelma's still got my casserole dish."

> No joke, there is no number listed for the Paris Police Department other than 9-11.

Pretty much the same for the Washington County, Oregon Sheriff's Office. You have to do a lot of digging to find a non-emergency number.

Barbacoa is older and the better style. It is not sweet.
IMO:good:

If yer a fat woman and you own a moomoo, yer sure to have a tornadey come near yer home.

I passed a friends house one day and saw his wash hanging to dry. When I saw him later I ask why he had so many sheets out drying. He said those belonged to his wife, Georgia. I was confused, ans said your wife name is Dawn. He sez,

"I know that, you see, to me them dresses hanging out there to dry looks like the state of Georgia, so that is what I call her".

We have a Nevada County.
