My sides hurt!

In large towns and cities, you're so busy that often times some of these things just blur into one incoherent mass of human stupidity. But small towns and farms ... well, folks talk. And cops is folks too.

There ought to be enough humor out there for a book to be published for each of 50 states. Except maybe for Maine and New Jersey. I understand humor is outlawed in those states.

Humor?

New Jersey I understand but Maine that can't be true. Maine split from Massachusetts a long time ago.

Humah...

Bill CA--Can't say anything abaht New Jehsey, but Maine does have humah. Y'just have to undastand that it's VERY low-key, and based on undastatement. Oh, and you have to undastand the pruppa use of the letta "ah," also.

Example: Tourist: "Why are all these rocks in your fields, farmer?"

Farmer: "The glaciahs brought 'em."

Tourist: "What glaciers? Where are they now?"

Farmer: "Prob'ly gone back faw anothha load o'rocks."

C'rect applause f'this would be a slight nod of the head, and perhaps an "Mmmm." Anything mowah would be vulgah display.
