Alabama

"Where's Henry?" the others asked.

"Henry had a stroke o' some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied.

"You left Henry layin' out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired

"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one's gonna steal Henry!

North Carolina

A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait.

A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.

The man replied, "I got a flat tahr.

But, what's with the flowers?

"Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch?
Don't you see that sign right over your head.?

"Yep," he replied. "That's why I'm dumpin' it here, 'cause it says:

'Fine For Dumping Garbage.        

 

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office.

"Wow!!!", the social worker exclaims. "Are they all yours?" 

"Yep, they're all mine!", the flustered momma sighs after having heard that question a thousand times before.
She says, "sit down, Terry."

All the children rush to find seats.

"Well" says the social worker you must be here to sign up for assistance."
"I'll need all your children's names."

"Well, to keep it simple, the boys are all named Terry and the girls are named Terri." 

In disbelief, the case worker says, "are you serious; they're all named Terry?"

Their momma replied, "Well, yes...it makes it easier".
"When it's time to get them out of bed to get ready for school, I yell Terry!"

When it's time for dinner, I just yell Terry and they all come a running.!  "When It's time to stop the kid who is running into the street, I just yell, Terry, and they all stop dead in their tracks."

"It's the smartest idea I ever had, Naming them all Terry."

The social worker thinks this over for several moments then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively,

"But what if you want just one kid to come and not the whole bunch?"

Momma says without skipping a beat,
"Then I call them by their last names".
