how long "directly" is - as in: "Going to town, be back

concept well.

person as "y'all."

tomatoes are not a breakfast food.

caught myself lookin' .. ," you know you are in the presence of

with a couple of friends, you could be with 2 or 10. The number
doesn't matter.

freeway. You just say, "Bless her heart" and go your own way.

An office manager was given the
task of hiring an individual to fill a job opening.
After sorting through a
stack of resumes he found four people who were equally qualified.
He decided to call the four in and ask them one question and their
answer would determine who would get the job.
The day came and as the four sat around
the conference room table the interviewer asked "What is the
fastest thing you know of?" pointing to the man on his right.
The first man replied, "A thought. It pops
into your head. There's no forewarning that it's on the way, it's
just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of."
"That's very good!" replied the
interviewer. "And now you sir?" he asked the second man.
"Hmm....let me see, A blink! It comes and
goes and you don't know it ever happened. A blink is the fastest
thing I know of."
"Excellent!" said the interviewer "The
blink of an eye. That's a very popular cliche for speed." As he
turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply.
"Well, out at my Dad's ranch, you step out
of the house and on the wall there's a light switch, when you flip
that switch, way out across the pasture the light at the barn
comes on in an instant. Turning on a light is the fastest thing I
can think of."
The interviewer was very impressed with
the third answer and thought he had found his man. "It's hard to
beat the speed of light." he said.
Turning to the fourth man, he posed the
question.
"After hearing the three previous answers,
it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is diarrhea."
"WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by
the response.
"Oh I can explain." said the fourth man.
"You see, the other day I wasn't feeling so well and ran for the
bathroom. But, before I could think, blink or turn on the light,
I'd messed my pants!"
He got the job.

The Blonde And The Police
The Baltimore Police Department, famous
for its superior K-9 unit, was somewhat taken aback by a recent
incident.
Returning home from work, a blonde was
shocked to find her house ransacked and burglarized. She
telephoned the police at once and reported the crime.
The police dispatcher broadcast the call
on the channels, and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first on
the scene.
As the K-9 officer approached the house
with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch, clapped
a hand to her head and moaned, "I come home from work to find all
my possessions stolen, I call the police for help, and what do
they do? They send a BLIND policeman!"
