A Texas Farmer and his Divorce:
A Texas farmer walked into an attorney's office wanting to file
for a divorce.
The attorney asked, "May I help you?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I want to get one of those dayvorce's."
The
attorney said, "well do you have any grounds?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I got about 140 acres."
The attorney said, " No,
you don't understand, do you have a case?"
The farmer said, "No, I don't have a Case, but I have a John Deere."
The
attorney said, "No you don't understand, I mean do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yea I got a grudge, that's where
I park my John
Deere."
The attorney said, "No sir, I mean do you have a suit?"
The farmer said, "Yes sir, I got a
suit. I wear it to church on Sundays."
The exasperated attorney said, "Well sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
The
farmer said, "No sir, we both get up about 4:30."
Finally, the attorney says, "Okay, let me put it this way. "WHY DO
YOU
WANT A DIVORCE?"
And the farmer says, "Well, I can never have a meaningful conversation with her."

Students in a psychology class at a southern university were attending
their first class on emotional extremes.
"In order to establish some parameters," the professor said to a student from
Alabama, "What is the opposite of joy?"
"Sadness," replied the student.
"And what is the opposite of depression?", the
professor asked a young lady from Mississippi.
"Elation," she answered.
"And you, young man," he said to a student from
Texas. "What about the opposite of woe?"
"Well, sir, I believe that'd be 'giddy-up'," the Texan replied.

A group of Texas friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos
for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck.
"Where's
Henry?" the others asked.
"Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful
hunter replied.
"You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired of him.
"A tough
call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!

A big-city, California, lawyer went duck hunting in rural Texas.
He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the
fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.
The litigator responded, "I shot
a duck and it fell into this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it."
The old farmer replied, "This is my property,
and you are not coming over here."
The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and,
if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."
The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently,
you don't know how we do things in Texas. We settle small disagreements like this with the Texas Three-Kick Rule."
The
lawyer asked, "What is the Texas Three-Kick Rule?"
The farmer replied, "Well, first I kick you three times and then
you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."
The attorney quickly thought about the
proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the farmer and agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old
farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy
work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick nearly wiped the man's nose off his face.
The barrister was flat on his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up. But the lawyer
summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you old coot! Now, it's my turn!"
The
old farmer smiled and said, "Nope, I give up. You can have the duck."

A man from Texas, driving a Volkswagen Beetle, pulls up next to
a guy in a Rolls Royce at a stop sign. Their windows are open and he yells at the guy in the Rolls, "Hey, you got a telephone
in that Rolls?
The guy in the Rolls says, "Yes, of course I do."
"I got one too... see?" the Texan says.
"Uh, huh, yes, that's
very nice."
"You got a fax machine?" asks the Texan.
"Why, actually,
yes, I do."
"I do too! See? It's right here!" brags the Texan.
The light is just about to turn green and the
guy in the Volkswagen says, "So, do you have a double bed in back there?"
The guy in the Rolls replies, "NO! Do you?"
"Yep, got my double bed right in back here," the Texan replies.
The
light turns and the man in the Volkswagen takes off. Well, the guy in the Rolls is not about to be one-upped, so he immediately
goes to a customizing shop and orders them to put a double bed in back of his car.
About two weeks later, the job is
finally done. He picks up his car and drives all over town looking for the Volkswagen beetle with the Texas plates..
Finally,
he finds it parked alongside the road, so he pulls his Rolls up next to it.
The windows on the Volkswagen are all fogged
up and he feels somewhat awkward about it, but he gets out of his newly modified Rolls and taps on the foggy window of the
Volkswagen.
The man in the Volkswagen finally opens the window a crack and peeks out.
The guy with the Rolls
says, "Hey, remember me?" "Yeah, yeah, I remember you," replies the Texan, "What's up?"
"Check this out...I got a double bed installed in my Rolls."
The Texan exclaims, "YOU GOT ME OUT OF THE SHOWER TO TELL ME THAT?!"
