Redneck version of the astrology signs...
OKRA (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
Are tough on the outside but tender on the inside. Okras have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. You can do something good each day if you try.
CHITLIN (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
Chitlins come from humble backgrounds. A Chitlin, however, will make something of himself if he is motivated and has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful they may surprise you. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with Catfish and Okra.
BOLL WEEVIL (Feb 20 - March 20)
You have an overwhelming curiosity. You're unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. You love to stay busy and tend to work too much. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry you, so don't worry about it.
MOON PIE (March 21 - April 20)
You're the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. A cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies. Big and round are the key words here. You should marry anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going to be easy. You always have a big smile and are happy. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Maybe not.
POSSUM (April 21 - May 21)
When confronted with life's difficulties, possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a don't-bother-me-about-it attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people actually think you're dead. This strategy is probably not psychologically healthy but seems to work for you. You are a rare breed. Most folks love to watch you work and play. You are a night person and mind your own business.
CRAWFISH (May 22 - June 21)
Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you're hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, and the bathtub to the living room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically, but you have very, very good heads.
COLLARDS (June 22 - July 23)
Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in "the melting pot" of life and share their essence with the essence of those around them. Collards make good social workers, psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal life goes, if you are Collards, stay away from Crawfish. It just won't work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.
CATFISH (July 24 - Aug 23)
Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, although one's whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You Catfish are never easy people to understand. You run fast. You work and play hard. Even though you prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear surface of life, you are liked by most. Above all else, Catfish should stay away from Moon Pies.
GRITS (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about joining a club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese, gravy, bacon, butter, or eggs and a good time. If you can go somewhere where they have all these things, that serves you well. You are pure in heart.
BOILED PEANUTS (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best, your friends and loved ones, may find that your personality is much too salty, and their criticism will affect you deeply because you are really much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.
BUTTER BEAN (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
Always invite a Butter Bean to a party because Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You've grown on the vine of life, and you feel at home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you, too, shouldn't have anything to do with Moon Pies.
ARMADILLO (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle and kind inside. A good evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms, and insects. You are a throwback. You're not concerned with today's fashions and trends. You're not concerned with anything about today. You're almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo, but a Possum is another somewhat kinky mating possibility

FACTS TO PONDER:
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S.
is
700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians
per year are
120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician
is
0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of
Health Human Services.
Now think about this:
Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S.
is
80,000,000.
(Yes, that's 80 million..)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths
per year, all age groups,
is
1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths
per gun owner
is
.000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI
So,
statistically, doctors are approximately
9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN,
BUT
ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
Please alert your friends
to this
alarming threat.
We must ban doctors
before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
Out of concern for the public at large,
I withheld the statistics on
lawyers
for fear the shock would cause
people to panic and seek medical attention Last edited on Thu Aug 7th, 2008 05:10 pm by Farmer

Old Butch
John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called," pullets, and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.
The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.
The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
But to Farmer John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result...The judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize, but they awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
Vote carefully this year...the bells are not always audible.

New Government Emblem
The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from an Eagle to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed. Shoot, it just doesn't get more accurate than that!

I know someone at my church who would love this.
From Buck's Social P's & Q's
Tips For Planning A Southern Wedding
The Announcement:
It is the responsibility of the bride's family to announce the wedding in the local newspaper. The announcement should include: A photograph of the bride (A high school yearbook picture is acceptable); Name of the groom, education completed by both bride and groom (do not include elementary school, unless that was the terminal degree.); current employment and planned residence after the ceremony (If living with the bride's parents, it is not necessary to specify where in the house you will reside).
Invitations:
Since you are having a planned wedding and you are expecting a lot of free stuff, you must send out invitations! They do not have to be lengthy. Something like "You are invited to watch John Smith and Jennifer Johnson make it legal on March 14, 2000." will suffice nicely. If you don't want to be so formal, you can always run down to the local bar and yell "If you aint doing nothin' on the 14th of March, why don't you stop by my house for a cold one about 2 o'clock. Me and Jennifer's having some friends over to watch the ball game and witness our weddin'."
Proper attire:
For the bride, the key words are "be conservative." No matter how good it may look, refrain from wedding outfits made with spandex or adorned with fringe. Excessive slits and dips also are frowned upon. This is not the occasion to show the world how big "they" are.
For the groom, a rented tuxedo is haute courture, but if it means the difference between going on a honeymoon and staying home, concider some alternatives. For example, a leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean work shirt can create a natty appearence. And though possibly uncomfortable, say yes to socks and shoes for this special occasion.
The ceremony:
No matter how urgent the event, loaded weapons have no place at the alter. At the point in the ceremony that says, "If anybody has any reason why these two should no be joined in holy matrimony..." tell the preacher not to pause too long, old flames sometimes die hard and talk too much.
Reception:
Remember to reserve the hall far in advance, and avoid Saturdays, since that's bingo night. It is perfectly acceptable to ask guests to wipe their feet before entering the hall. After all the cleaning deposit can be the difference between an oil change and a full tune-up for the car.
Common wedding questions and answers and general advice:
Q: Is it all right to bring a date to the wedding?
A: Not if you are the groom.
Q: How many showers is the bride supposed to have?
A: At least one within a week of the wedding.
Q: What music is recommended for the wedding ceremony?
A: Anything except "Tied to the Whipping Post".
Livestock is usually a poor choice for a wedding gift.
When dancing, never remove undergarments, no matter how hot it is.
A bridal veil made of window screen is not only cost effective but also a proven fly deterrent.

"I'm sure you know by now, Jesse Jackson was overheard saying, and I'll put this more delicately, that he wanted to cut Barack Obama's testicles off. And Jesse has been on several news programs the last couple of days, explaining what he meant by those comments. Do you need to explain that?" --Jay Leno
"Barack Obama's two daughters are very excited, because I guess Barack Obama promised the kids that after the election he's going to get them a dog. That's the thing, they're all excited, he's going to get them a dog after the election. And the good news -- Jesse Jackson has offered to neuter it, so I think that's terrific." --Jay Leno

�� Amish Farmer
An Amish farmer walking through his field notices a man
drinking from his pond, with his hand.
The Amish man shouts: 'Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen
haben dahin gesheissen.'
(Which means: 'Don't drink the water, the cows have shit in it.')
The man shouts back: 'I'm a Muslim, I don't understand your
gibberish. Speak English, infidel!'
The Amish man says:� 'Use two hands, you'll get more!!'

A blind bunny was hopping down the bunny trail and tripped over a large snake and fell, kerplop right on his twitchy little nose.
'Oh please excuse me,' said the bunny. 'I didn't mean to trip over you, but I'm blind and can't see.'
'That's perfectly all right,' replied the snake. 'To be sure, it was my fault. I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?'
'Well, I really don't know,' said the bunny. 'I'm blind, and I've never seen myself Maybe you could examine me and find out.'
So the snake felt the bunny all over, and he said, 'Well, you're soft, and cuddly, and you have long silky ears, and a little fluffy tail and a dear twitchy little nose. You must be a bunny rabbit!'
The bunny said, 'I can't thank you enough. But by the way, what kind of animal are you?'
The snake replied that he didn't know either, and the bunny agreed to examine him, and when the bunny was finished, the snake asked, 'Well, what kind of an animal am I?'
The bunny had felt the snake all over, and he replied, 'You're cold, you're slippery, and you haven't got any balls...You must be a POLITICIAN

An Eastern Shore man leaving the bay, was stopped by a game warden recently,
with two ice chests full of live illegal sized crabs in water.
The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those crabs?"
Naw, my friend, I ain't got no license. These here are my pet crabs."
"Pet crabs?"
"Yep. Every night I take these crabs down to the bay and let 'em swim
around for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this ice
chest and I take 'em home."
"That's a bunch of Bull! Crabs can't do that!"
The man looked at the game warden for a moment and then
said, "It's the truth. I'll show you. It really works."
"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"
The man poured the crabs into the river and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"
"Well, what?" said the man.
"When are you going to call them back?" "Call who back?"
"The crabs!"
"WHAT crabs?"
We from the Eastern Shore may not be as smart as some, but we are not as dumb as most.

You an Internet addict? You Might Be An Internet Addict If...
- You step out of your room and realize that your parents have moved and you don't have a clue as to when it happened.
- Your bookmark list takes 15 minutes to go from top to bottom.
- Your nightmares are in HTML and GIFS.
- You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
- You start introducing yourself as "Jim at net dot com"
- Your heart races faster and beats irregularly each time you see a new WWW site address on TV.
- You turn on your intercom when leaving the room so you can hear if new e-mail arrives.
- Your wife drapes a blond wig over your monitor to remind you of what she looks like.
- All of your friends have an @ in their names.
- When looking at a web page full of someone else's links, you notice all of them are already highlighted in purple.
- Your dog has its own home page.
- You can't call your mother... She doesn't have a modem.
- You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.
- Your phone bill is a heavy as a brick.
- You write your homework in HTML and give your instructor the URL.
- You don't know the sex of three of your closest friends, because they have neutral nicknames and you never bothered to ask.
- Your husband tells you that he has had the beard for 2 months
- You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
- You tell the kids they can't use the computer because "Daddy's got work to do" -- even though you don't have a job.
- You buy a Captain Kirk chair with a built-in keyboard and mouse.
- Your wife makes a new rule: "The computer cannot come to bed."
- You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with Netscape 3.0 or higher."
- You never have to deal with busy signals when calling your ISP... because you never log off.
- The last girl you picked up was only a GIF.
- You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a toilet.
- Your wife says communication is important in a marriage... so you buy another computer and install a second phone line so the two of you can chat.
- As your car crashes through the guardrail on a mountain road, your first instinct is to search for the "back" button.

Jose and Carlos, both illegal immigrants, are panhandling along the freeway off ramp, each one holding a sign.
Jose drives a new Mercedes Benz, lives in a mortgage free house, and has lots of spending cash on hand. Carlos has little because he only makes $2 or $3 per day.
Carlos asks Jose how he can also earn enough money like he does (a suitcase full of $10 bills a day, so he too can live comfortably.
Jose says, "Look at your sign. What does it say?"
Carlos reads, "I have no work, and have a wife and 6 kids to support. Please help."
Jose says, "Now look at MY sign."
It says, "I only need another $10 to move back to Mexico."

Young Chuck, moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a
farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey
the next day. The next day he drove up and said, "Sorry
son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died."
Chuck replied, "Well, then, just give me my money
back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent
it already."
Chuck said, "Ok, then, just bring me the dead
donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?
Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead
donkey!"
Chuck said, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't
tell anybody he's dead."
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked,
"What happened with that dead donkey?"
Chuck said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at
two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00."
The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his
two dollars back."
Chuck grew up and works for the government.
Anybody got a donkey we can raffle off?

Driving in England
Siamese twins walk into a pub in Ontario and park themselves on a bar stool.
One of them says to the barkeeper, 'Don't mind us, we're joined at the hip. I'm John, he's Jim. Two Molson Canadian beers, draft please.'
The barkeeper, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while pouring the beers. 'Been on holiday yet, lads?'
'Off to England next month,' says John. We go to England every year and hire a car and drive for miles, don't we, Jim?'
Jim agrees.
'Ah, England!' says the barkeeper. 'Wonderful country... the history, the beer, the culture.'
'Nah, we don't like that British crap,' says John. 'Hamburgers & Molson's beer, that's us, eh Jim? And we can't stand the English - they're so arrogant and rude.'
'So why keep going to England?' asks the barkeeper.
'It's the only chance Jim gets to drive.'

Grandmas Don't Know Everything
He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while
When he came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?"
She was a little taken aback, but she decided to just tell
Him the truth. "It's called sexual intercourse, darling."
Little Tony just said, "Oh, OK," and went back outside to
play with the other kids.
A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily,
"Grandma, it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called bunk beds.....And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you."

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.
It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer
heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Very good east C Mom.
I live in an old house circa 1890's that still has the old hole, pluged with concrete now. Old Mr. !(can't use his name) until 1955 never would use the new bathrooms added on to the house. Until he died @ 1960 1970, he would not use the new bathrooms added on he wanted to use the out house. We even have a area where the old summer kitchen was..

A bus stops and 2 men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.
The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following:
'Emma come first.
Den I come.
Den two asses come together.
I come once-a-more!
Two asses, they come together again.
I come again and pee twice.
Then I come one lasta time.'
The lady can't take this any more. 'You foul-mouthed sex obsessed pig,' she retorted
indignantly. 'In this country we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives.'
'Hey, coola down lady,' said the man.
'Who talkin'abouta sex? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spell ' Mississippi '.'

BURNED OUT GYNECOLOGIST
A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and was on the verge of being burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and became an auto mechanic. He found out from the local technical college what was involved, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently and learned all he could. When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wondered if there has been an error that needs adjusting?"
The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly which is also worth 50% of the mark." The instructor went on to say, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did all of it through the
muffler!!."

One of my fondest memories
as I recall the days of old..
Was the little house, behind the house,
with the crescent o'er the door,
'Twas a place to sit and ponder
with your head all bowed down low;
knowing that you wouldn't be there,
If you didn't have to go.
Ours was a multi-holer, three,
with a size for every one.
You left there feeling better,
after your job was done.
You had to make those frequent trips
in snow, rain, sleet, or fog--
to that little house where you usually
Found the Wards catalog.
Sometimes in dead of winter,
the seat was spread with snow.
Twas then with much reluctance,
to that little house you'd go.
With a swish you'd clear that wooden seat,
bend low, with dreadful fear
You'd shut your eyes and grit your teeth
as you settled on your rear.
I recall the day Ol' Granddad,
who stayed with us one summer,
made a trip out to that little house
which proved to be a bummer.
'Twas the same day that my Dad had
finished painting the kitchen green.
He'd just cleaned up the mess he'd made
with rags and gasoline.
He tossed the rags down in the hole
went on his usual way
not knowing that by doing so-
he'd eventually ruin the day.
Now Granddad had an urgent call,
I never will forget!
This trip he made to the little house
stays in my memory yet.
He sat down on the wooden seat,
with both feet on the floor.
He filled his pipe and tapped it down
and struck a match on the outhouse door.
He lit the pipe and sure enough,
it soon began to glow.
He slowly raised his rear a bit
and tossed the flaming match below.
The Blast that followed, I am told
was heard for miles around;
and there was poor ol' Granddad
sprawled out there on the ground.
The smoldering pipe still in his mouth,
his eyes were shut real tight;
The celebrated three -holer
was blown clear out of sight.
We asked him what had happened,
what he said I'll ne'er forget.
He said he thought it must have been
those pinto beans ......
Next day we had a new one
Dad put it up with ease.
But this one had a door sign
that read: "No Smoking, Please"
Now that's the story's end my friend,
of memories long ago,
when we went to the house behind the house,
Because we had to go.
For those who never had to trot out in the Cold.....
Just Give Thanks!!
You will never know about having to hold your nose when you had to go.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Bud and Jim were a couple of drinking buddies who worked as aircraft mechanics in Atlanta. One day
the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with nothing to do.
Bud said, "Man, I wish we had something to drink,
jim says, "Me too. Y'know, I've heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz. You wanna try it?"
So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane hooch and get completely smashed. The next morning Bud wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels. In fact he feels GREAT! NO hangover! NO
bad side effects. Nothing!
Then the phone rings, its Jim. Jim says, "Hey, how do you feel this morning?" Bud says, "I feel great.
How about you?" Jim says, "I feel great, too. You don't have a hangover Bud says, "No that jet fuel is great stuff -- no hangover, nothing. We ought to do
this more often." "Yeah, well there's just one thing."
What's that?" "Have you farted yet?" "No " "Well,
DON'T, 'cause I'm in Denver."

Dietary Issues
A doctor was addressing a large audience.
"Red meat is bad for you," he told the audience.
"Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining.
"Chinese food is loaded with MSG.
"High fat diets are disastrous.
"No one knows the long-term effect of germs in our drinking water," said the doctor.
"But one food is the most dangerous of all and I bet every one of you has eaten it at least once. Can anyone tell me which food causes the most grief for years after you eat it?"
An old man in the front row raised his hand and softly asked, "Is it wedding cake?"

CRABS
A man boarded an airplane in New Orleans with a box of crabs. A female crew member took the box and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator, which she did.
The man firmly advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for the crabs staying frozen, and proceeded to rant and rave about what would happen if she let the crabs thaw out.
Shortly before landing in New York , she announced over the intercom to the entire cabin, "Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in New Orleans, please raise his hand?"
Not one hand went up...so she took them home and ate them herself. Men never learn.
