Too funny! I've got a sheet of "You know you're from South Carolina when..." which is pretty funny as well. I like regional jokes, and I'm glad they're not yet banned as offensive.

I agree. I think Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck jokes are really funny too. Far too many people have become overly sensitive and PC, which takes a lot of the innocent humor out of life. I guess I step on some toes at times, but I still think laughter is one of the best medicines, and at least one daily dose does everyone good.
