Rated G A major network is planning the show "Survivor 2" this winter. In response, Texas is planning "Survivor, Texas Style." The contestants will start in Dallas, travel through Waco, Austin, San Antonio, over to Houston, and down to Brownsville. They will proceed up to Del Rio, on to El Paso, then to Midland/Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo. From there, they proceed to Abilene, and on to Ft. Worth and back to Dallas. Each will be driving a pink Volvo with a bumper sticker that reads, "I'm gay, I voted for Al Gore, and I'm here to confiscate your guns." The first one to make it back to Dallas wins.

Rated pgSo while Bob is raggin' on Texas, I might as well too! This song was written and recorded by The Capitol Steps. Check out their halarious political C.D. Recordings! Sing to Willie Nelson Mommas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be COWBOYS! On a fine lookin' Sunday most people agree it's no big sin To sit on your butts drinkin' some while watchin' some pigskin Us Washington Locals don't like Texas Yolkols They're such a bizzare bunch of guys The question were sayin' while Dallas is playin' is "Will the Defendant please rise!" Mommas, don't let your babbies grow up to be COWBOYS... 'Cause out on the field they may play pretty well... But 'tis hard to throw touchdowns while locked in a cell.. Their huddle formation is breakin' probation.. And O.J.s the next one they'l sign Hey, why's the crowd roarin' Could Dallas be scorin'? Snortin' the 50 yard line! Oh Bubbas whether the COWBOYS play Redskins' or Niners' The game gets exciten' when Switzer is boarding jet liners When the game runs out They'll pull the big guns out Like COWBOYS who once ruled the earth They could win it this season Which could be the reason Next Superbowls at Levenworth!

A Texan, a Californian, and a Nevadan were out riding their horses.
The Texan pulled out an expensive bottle of whiskey, took a long draught, then another, and then suddenly threw it into the air, pulled out his gun and shot the bottle in midair.
The Californian looked at the Texan and said, "What are you doing? That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!" The Texan replied, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap."
A while later, not wanting to be outdone, the Californian pulled out a bottle of champagne, took a few sips, threw the half full champagne bottle into the air, pulled out his gun, and shot it in midair.
The Nevadan couldn't believe this and said "What the heck did you do that for? That was an expensive bottle of champagne!" The Californian replied, "In California there is plenty of champagne and bottles are cheap."
A while later, the Nevadan pulled out a bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. He opened it, took a sip, took another sip, then chugged the rest. He then put the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulled out his gun, turned, and shot the Californian.
The shocked Texan said "Why in hell did you do that?!"
The Nevadan replied, "Well, in Nevada we have plenty of Californians and bottles are worth a nickel." [ 11-21-2003, 08:04 PM: Message edited by: Paul Mayer ]

Rated PG Visitor's Guide To Louisville, Kentucky
1. You must learn to pronounce the city name. "It's Loo-vull."
2. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Louisville has it's own. The truck with the loudest exhaust goes next at a 4-way stop. The truck with the biggest tires goes after that. (Blue haired ladies have the right of way at all times.).
3. To find anything it is required that you know where the "Old Sears Building" is.
4. If you actually stop at a yellow light, "YOU WILL", be rear ended, cussed out and possibly shot.
5. The morning rush hour is from 6:00 to 10:00, evening rush hour from 3:00 to 7:00. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning.
6. You must know that "Jefferson Freeway", Gene Snyder Freeway", "I-265", and "State Road 841" are the same road.
7, Construction is a permanent fixture in Louisville, the barrels are moved around during the night to make the next days driving more exiciting.
8. Watch very carefully for road hazards such as deer, skunks, dogs, barrels,cones, pot holes, cats, pieces of other cars, opposum, raccoons, squirrels, and crows or vultures feeding on the above items.
9. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the side of the road to let them know that it has been accidently activated.
10. The minimum acceptable speed on the "Gene Snyder Freeway" (see above) is 85mph, anything less is considered downright sissy. This is Kentucky's version of NASCAR.
11. Never honk at anyone. Ever. Seriously.
12. If you are in the left lane and only going 70 in a 55 zone, you are considered a road hazard and will be "flipped off" accordingly.
13. Ground clearance of at least 12 inches is recommended for city driving.
14.If it's 100 degrees, Thanksgiving must be next weekend.
15. If it's 10 degrees and sleeting, the Kentucky Derby Festival is going on.

Rated PG Alaska
Jon lived in Anchorage, Alaska. Right downtown. His house was literally right downtown. But he had no indoor plumbing. He did, however, have an outhouse. The older he got, though, the further away it seemed to get.
One night, he decided to just skip the trip. Instead, hedecided to just relieve himself right there off the front porch.
His wife was pretty pissed about his decision."Jon, you moron.Our neighbors can see you when you do this,you know."
He'd not given THAT scenario much thought, so he promised his wife he'd not do it again.
Not too many nights later, though, it turned bitterly cold. Right in the middle of the night he had to piss like a race horse. He got up, put on his slippers, and headed out of the bedroom to do his business.
He was back in two shakes (so to speak). His wife, suspicious as wives are apt to be, said, "You weren't gone very long."
"That's right."
"You went off the porch again, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did."
"We had a talk about this, remember? The neighbors could see you, right. They'll know it was you and what you're doing out there."
"Naw, they won't know it's me! This time I was squatting down!"

Rated PG INTER-STATE
4 guys are driving cross-country together -- one from Idaho, one from Nebraska, one from Florida, and the last one is from New York.
A bit down the road the man from Idaho starts to pull potatoes from his bag and throws them out the window.
The man from Iowa turns to him and asks, "What the hell are you doing?"
The man from Idaho says, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in Idaho they're laying around on the ground-I'm sick of looking at them!"
A few miles down the road, the man from Nebraska begins pulling husks of corn from his bag and throwing them out the window.
The man from Florida asks "What are you doing that for?"
The Nebraskan replies, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in Nebraska I'm sick of looking at them!"
Inspired by the others, the man from Florida opens the car door and pushes the New Yorker out.

Rated PG TEXAS SIZE
A Texan went to Chicago and thought he would buy a new "city" outfit.
He went into Marshall Fields and, when asked by a sweet young woman if she could help him, he answered,"Yes ma'am.Ya see,I'm from Texas and I want to buy a complete city outfit."
Her eyes lit up as she asked, "Where would you like to start?"
"Well, ma'am, how about a suit?"
"Yes sir. What size?"
"Size 53 tall, ma'am."
"Wow, that's really big."
"Yes ma'am, they really grow them big in Texas."
"What's next?" she asked.
He replied, "How about some shoes?"
"What size?"
"Size 15 double E."
"Wow, that's really big!"
"Yes ma'am. They really grow them big in Texas."
"What's next?"
"Well, I reckon I'll need a shirt."
"Yes sir. What size?"
"Nineteen and a half neck, sleeves 38," he replied.
"Wow, that's really big!"
"Yes ma'am. They really grow them big in Texas."
"Will there be anything else?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am. I spect I'll need a hat."
"Yes sir. What size?"
"Eight and five-eighths."
"Wow, that's really big!"
"Yes ma'am. They really grow them big in Texas."
She virtually glowed as she asked, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"No ma'am , I reckon that will be all."
As the sweet young thing tallied up his bill,and as the Texan counted out his money, she blushed and asked,"Sir,could I ask you a question?"
"Yes ma'am,I already know what it is.And the answer is four inches."
Astonished, she blurted out,"Why, my boyfriend is bigger than that!"
Without so much as a stutter,the Texan replied,"From the floor,ma'am?"
