This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I’m not sure about it, though. I put a load of clothes in and pulled the ain. We haven’t seen ‘em since. The weather isn’t bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days. About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Billy Bob said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off — you’ ll find ‘em in the pockets. Bubba locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your momma out. Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven’t found out what it is yet, so I don’t know if you are an aunt or uncle.
Uncle Bobby Ray fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated; he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back and drowned — they couldn’t get the tailgate down. There isn’t much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened.
Your Favorite Uncle,
Dad
It only took the doctor about 2 seconds to say, “Gimme a break, lady! Your daughter is pregnant!”
The mother turn red with fury, and she argued with the doctor that *her* daughter was a good girl, and would *never* compromise her reputation by having sex with a boy.
The doctor faced the window and silently watched the horizon.
The mother became enraged and screamed, “Quit looking out the window! Are not you paying attention to me?”
“Yes, of course I am paying attention, ma’am. It’s just that the last time this happened, a star appeared in the east, and three wise men came. I was hoping they had show up again, and help me figure out who got your daughter pregnant!”
Any woman that thinks the way to a mans heart is
through his stomach is aiming just a little too high.
Her daughter chose that moment to wander into the kitchen and say casually, “Hey, mom, I need someone to talk to.”
The mother replied, “Why would you possibly choose right NOW to try to talk to me?”
To which the daughter responded, “Well, it looked like you had some thyme on your hands.”
