Recently, a game warden stopped a Tennessee hillbilly,  with two ice chests                                                                                                                  full of fish.  He was leaving a cove well known for its good fishing. The game warden asked the man,  "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"
"Naw, suh... I ain't got none of them thar licenses...  No.. Nooo.  Ya gotts' tuh understand, these here are my PET fish !"
"Pet fish?" said the game warden.
"Yay'uhh... Ever night I take these here fish down to da lake and let em swim a'roun for a while.  Then, I whistle and they jump rat back into this here ice chest...  and I take them home."
"That's a bunch of  HOOEY!  Fish can't do that!" says the warden.
The hillbilly looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's the truth Mr. Government man, I'll show ya. It really works!"
"Okay,"  said the game warden,  "I've GOT to see this!"
The hillbilly poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, " Well?"
"Well,  WHAT?"  axed the hillbilly !
The warden said, "When are you going to call them back?"
The hillbilly said, "Call  WHO  back?"
"The  FISH !"  replied the warden!
"WHAT  FISH?"  answered the hillbilly.

Alabama fan

A family of Tennessee football supporters heads out to the mall one Saturday  to do some Christmas shopping. While in the sports store in the mall, the son picks up a Alabama jersey and says to his older sister, "I've decided to become a Alabama fan and I would like this for Christmas."
His big sister is outraged by this and promptly kicks him in the leg and says, "Go talk to Mom!"
Off goes the little lad with the Alabama jersey in hand and finds his mother.
"Mom?"
"Yes son?"
"I've decided I'm going to be a Alabama fan and I would like this jersey for Christmas."
The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks her son in the head and says, "Go talk to your father!!"
Off he goes with the Alabama jersey in hand and finds his father.
"Dad?"
"Yes son?"
"I've decided I'm going to be a Alabama fan and I would like this jersey for Christmas."
The father is outraged and promptly slaps his son in the face and says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT THING!"
About half an hour later, they're all back in the car and heading towards home. The father turns to his son and says, "Son, I hope you've learned something today?"
The son says, "Yes, Dad, I have."
"Good son, what is it?"
The son replies, "I've only been a Alabama fan for an hour and I already hate you Tennessee people!"

Who's colored

When I born, I black.
When I grow up, I black.
When I go in sun, I black.
When I cold, I black.
When I scared, I black.
When  I sick, I black, and when I die, I still black.

You white  folks....
When you born, you pink.
When you grow up, you  white.
When you go in sun, you red.
When you cold, you blue.
When  you scared, you yellow.
When you sick, you green.
When you bruised,  you purple, and when you die, you gray.
