BadFisherman Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas
 
South Dakota...A tough old Badlands rancher once told his grandson that the secret to long life was to sprinkle a little gunpowder on his oatmeal every morning. The grandson did this religiously, and he lived to be 93. When he died, he left 14 children, 28 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren … and a 15-foot hole in the wall of the crematorium.

Tennessee...Do you know what you get when you play a country tune backward? You get your job back, your house back, your wife back, your dog back …

Texas...Kinky Friedman, an entertainer and former Texas gubernatorial candidate, explains how to speak Texanese: “Y’all is singular. All y’all is plural. All y’all’s is plural possessive.”

Utah...An elderly Mormon visits his doctor and asks if he’ll live to be a hundred.

“Do you smoke or drink?” asks the doctor.

“Those things have never and will never touch my lips,” says the man.

“Do you gamble, drive fast cars, and fool around with women?”

“Nope, don’t believe in doing any of that, either.”

“Well then,” says the doctor, “what do you want to live to be a hundred for?”

Vermont...What did the guy from Burlington say to the Pillsbury Doughboy? “Hey, nice tan.”

Virginia...In my day, Virginia was for people who were just friends, not lovers.

Washington...In Seattle, you haven’t had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it’s running.—Jeff Bezos

West Virginia...What is the West Virginia state flower? The satellite dish.

Wisconsin...Sven notices his neighbor has a sign in his yard—”Boat for Sale.”

“Ole,” he says, “you don’t own a boat. All you got is your old tractor and your combine.”

“Yup,” said Ole. “And they’re boat for sale.”

Wyoming...Why are cowboys’ hats turned up on the sides? So that three people can fit in the pickup.

Lighten up, Bahmer. I may be a 'BF', a bad fisherman, but I'm not a 'NF', no fishing man.

I’m from Texas... “still” is a two syllable word. Pronounced “steee-eeel”. Example: We are “steee-eel” erecting the “steel” on the high rise building.”

I’m in construction. My wife, who’s not from Texas, cracked up when I told her how one of my projects was progressing. Note; “hill”. Is also a two syllable word. 🙂

a damned N.H. Yankee in your midst for a brief spell !
