Pickin' on Texas Again

January 30, 2006 | | Comments (20)

Two Texans were driving through New Hampshire. As they were approaching Lake Winnipesaukee, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the lake's name.

They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one said to the young lady behind the counter, "Before we order, could y'all please pronounce where we are, very slowly?"

The blonde leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrr-gerrrrr Kinnnng."

Are you sure they weren't in Kansas at my favorite pirate restaurant? You know the one: ARRRRRRRRBY'S

They weren't in Kansas anymore, Toto. And if John had his way, it'd be AARRGGGGHHHHHH!BY'S...

Who wrote this joke? Not someone who has ever been to New England. The young lady would have said "BBBUUURRRGGGAAAA KKKIIINNNGGG"

No, that's Owwwwww! And, Chief(ret), it's a good thing for you that I don't know exactly where you live and am not very mobile at this time!

The Texas variant involves two yankees in Waxahachie, who ask at a "DAAAA-REEE QUEEEEEN."

Maggie - They're in *New Hampshire*, not Vuh-mahnt. Most everybody living in New Hampshire moved there from Yonkers. Sanger - Speaking of ¿Que?--do they still define Texans as "Illegals that never made it to Oklahoma"...? Beloml - Y'all talkin' 'bout th' *DAY-CUE*?

Bill - Cow Hampshah is full of people fleeing Taxachusetts.

Cow Hampshah sounds like an appropriate place for a Boiguh Keng...

Bill, I don't know about all that other TX stuff, being from Philly, where the answer would have been "I don't have time fordis $hit! Whaddaya have?!" Beloml That was funny. And way too true, like Indiana, if a Texas town doesn't have a DQ, it just ain't worth stopping in....

I'm shocked to see you post a story that old, and change it no less! Actually that's a true story about two Yankees at the Dairy Queen in Waxahachi, Texas.

They have blondes in Waxahachi?
   
By cw4(ret)billt on January 30, 2006 10:02 PM
Oh, great. Lemme guess--it's another chick quiz...

ooog. Four of your favorite foods. Four TV shows you can't *wait* to watch. Four movies you'd watch over and over and over... This does not bode well for maintaining my curmudgeonly rep.

Aww, poor Bill! *pat, pat*

No, Pat, Pat is my sister in Tucson.

Comrades, You know, of course, the reason all Texas college football fields use Astro-Turf instead of grass? It keeps the cheerleaders from grazing at half-time..... I understand that the locals living around Texas A&M caution new folks to keep their car windows rolled up when driving by the campus... Seems it keeps the "U" from tossing a diploma through the window.... Aggies? heh.. Go UMaine Black Bears! Respects to all concerned, AW1 Tim
