That's like shooting blanks, Dan.

Finally, a subject where you are the undisputed expert.

Terrell, how did you get so bitter and filled with bile? I've
known
people
who have a lot of medical problems, but none who have let it
turn
them
into
such crustaceans as yourself.

Now you claim that my sense of humor is impaired, but it seems to
me
that Michael is having you on and is being humorous, not bitter.

Ed is too senile to understand humor, and proves it time after
time.
It must be all that formaldehyde in the drinking water in New
Jersey
that petrified his sense of humor.

Hey, you should save that one for your standup routine at the Cracker
Club,
Michael.

Maybe you can get Dan to be your straight man. You'll be the first
comedy
pair with *two* straight men.

What do you know about being straight? ;-)

Dumb, Michael. And too obvious. You're a real straight man.

Sigh. Take it however you small mind wants to. We were talking
about HUMOR, but evidently your mind was somewhere else.





Hey, I have a Florida Cracker joke for you to add to your routine.

Two police officers come to this old cracker's door, and say, "Cletus,
we
have bad news, good news, and really good news. Which do you want
first?"

"Gimme the bad news first."

"Ok, we found your wife's body in the bay."

"So what's the good news?"

"Well, there were about a dozen blue crabs hanging on her when we hauled
her
up, and we brought 'em in."

"I'll be durned!", says Cletus. "So, what's the really good news?"

"We're gonna haul her up again tomorrow."

da-da-boom!

Wrong part of the state, and more proof that you have no sense of
humor. That is a 'Cajun' or a 'Bubba' joke.

Florida 'Crackers' raised cattle, so the story goes. There were some
large cattle ranches in Florida, and 'Crackers' referred to the sound of
the whips they used. Not that I expect you to know anything about
Florida, or its history.

Back in the '50s, a cracker was any old native of Florida. Sometimes
the AFB guys at Homestead called them all crackers whether they were
natives or not.

It's like "redneck." It depends.

Scraper

Yup, exactly. Some of them even call themselves crackers, like a family of
orange growers I knew in Davie, who had been there for generations.
