Regional humor.

I am hopelessly regional I guess. I get all the Southern jokes and none of the northern ones! :o

Oh and on the grits, I’d say that in years past they were probably dirt cheap so 50 cents’ worth would be a metric buttload.

Thank you for your support – Bartles & Jaymes

(As they used to say: you had to be there.)

This reminds me of one that’s probably told all over the world. I’ll give the New Orleans-area version:

Q: How do we know Jesus wasn’t born in Chalmette?

A: There aren’t three wise men or a virgin in Chalmette!

There is a similar college joke, about why the school cancelled the Christmas pageant. (because they couldn’t find three wise men and a virgin on campus).

If you’re from waaay out in the sticks you should be able to read this:

Person A: “M R Snakes”
Person B: “M R Not”
A: “S A R. C M B D I’s?”
B: “L I B! M R Snakes!”

Person A: “M R Ducks”
Person B: “M R Not”
A: “S A R. C M E D B D Wangs?”
B: “L I B! M R Ducks!”

Somebody want to translate this?

Them are snakes.
Them are not.
Yes they are. See them beady eyes?
Well, I’ll be! They are snakes!

Them are ducks.
Them are not.
Yes they are. See them itty bitty wangs?
Well, I’ll be. They are ducks!

[Dung_Beetle]

Also, wangs translates to wings. There are no duck dicks in this joke.

Thanks. I would’ve never figured that out.

How do they cure a heart attack in New York?

“Get up before you fuckin’ die!”

Made me laugh out loud.

These are really funny. (But I think we should all be forced to translate. lol)

For the Americans - “Queue” equals a line for something.

Not exclusively northern or NYC but:

Jeet jet = Did you eat yet?

No jew = No, did you?

I always heard it as…

1: Jeet jet?

2: No jew?

1: Squee.

[Telemark]

Jeet?

No Jew?

No, Twirly Teet

We know what the word means. We just typically use it for inanimate objects. For example, people use to talk about their Netflix queues.

However, we don’t tend to use it as a verb nearly as much. You tend to add something to your queue, rather than queue it up.

True.
