[Cheetam]

That all sounds about right...the only omission I see from his list is "You have a bass fishing Season..." 

[joshimoto son]

Here's one that he missed.

This is an actual quote from our very own Mcarter/Poorboy's wife.

"I don't mind being pregnant... I just miss the drinking."

God Bless her heart!

Brian... if that's too offensive, let me know and I'll revoke it.
She was just so cute when she said it.

I'm sure she meant tea, Coke, etc... 

[McCarter]

Naw, thats cool.  She likes her beer.  She misses her beer.  I feel bad drinking in front of her.  Not bad enough to stop mind you.  But i do feel bad

McCarter himself

"Naw, thats cool.  She likes her beer.  She misses her beer.  I feel bad drinking in front of her.  Not bad enough to stop mind you. "--I dont care who u are thats funny right there.

Another one from somewhere is:

You might be from Michigan if you think a pasty is something to eat, not what a stipper wears.

[djkimmel]

I LOVE pasty's!!!

[matt]

[Mojo]

IF Foxworthy said those, he regurgitated them from someone, but that driving in winter fast because the pot holes are filled in ... darn thats funny !!!1
