Weekend joke - The Alabama accent Bubba and Billy Joe were on vacation, walking downtown, window shopping, and they see a sign on a store which reads, "Suits $5.99 each, shirts $1.99 each, trousers $2.49 each. Bubba says to his pal, "Billy Joe, Look here! We could buy a whole gob of these, take 'em back to Alabama, sell 'em and make a fortune. Just let me do the talkin', 'cause if they hear your accent, they might think we're ignorant, and not wanna sell that stuff to us". Now, I'll talk in a slow Texas drawl so's they don't know we is from Alabama ." They go in and Bubba says with his best fake Texas drawl, "I'll take 50 of them suits at $5.99, 100 of them there shirts at $1.99, 50 pairs of them there trousers at $2.39. I'll back up my pickup and....." "The owner of the shop interrupts, "Ya'll from Alabama, ain't ya?" "Well...yeah," says a surprised Bubba. "How come ya'll knowed that?" "Because this is a Dry-Cleaners." p.s. As a reminder, I am NOT the original writer of all the "Weekend jokes", so I am NOT responsible for them. Those "weekend jokes" are from my Las Vegas real estate agent weekly. Honesty is the best policy. |

I also met two Aussie couples (4 persons) at Polynesia Cultural Center in Hawaii when I was vacationing there for my birthday in Aug 2016. I wore a T-shirt with a "Cassowary" picture on it. One of these Aussie guys said "Cassowary" to me. I said "Yes, I went to Australia and New Zealand last year (2015)". So, I asked them if I can join them for a day and I had a wonderful day with them at Polynesia Cultural Center in Hawaii. I have good impression on Aussies. Honesty is the best policy.

classy lady your right we have to learn to laugh at ourselfs again , but if a white guy made that about a minority , the left and its media allies whould go into melt down mode , and there be riots in the streets and at all the unis , its a two way thing . thanks for letting me comment your right should be "you're right" = you are right. laugh at ourselfs should be "ourselves" whould go into melt down mode should be "would go" there be riots should be "there will be riots" all the unis should be "units" its a two way thing should be "it's a two way thing" = it is a two way thing. Although sometimes we made typos but you ought to know the differences about correct vocabularies. I have learned English spelling and grammar from textbooks not from street language. However, you got it right on "the left and its media allies" that its mean "his, her, their, ..." so you are right on that its word in the sentence. I am a Calif licensed pharmacist, I seek for accuracy. Thank you for your understanding and I don't mean to hurt your feeling. Honesty is the best policy.
