How to install a southern home security system:

  1. 1. Go to Goodwill and buy a pair of size 14-16 men’s work boots.
  2. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Gun & Ammo
  3. 3. Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.
  4. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads:

Bubba,

Me and Marcel, Donnie Ray and Jimmy Earl went for more ammo and beer. Be back in an hour. Don’t mess with the pitbulls. They got the mailman this morning and messed him up pretty bad.

I don’t think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of ‘em in the house. Better wait outside. Be right back…

A cop is staking out a bar for drunk drivers. At closing time, he sees a guy stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and fumble for his keys for 5 minutes. When he finally gets in, it takes him another five minutes to get the key in the ignition. Meanwhile, everybody else leaves the bar and drives off. When he finally pulls away, the cop is waiting for him, pulls him over, and gives him a breathalyzer test. The test shows he has a blood alcohol level of 0.0. The cop says, “How is this possible?” The guys replies, “Tonight I’m the designated decoy.”

We had a light test today on a light sale. Quality was average. There was decent buyer interest.

Right before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, make sure that you raise your left leg. That way you start off the New Year on the right foot.

Me: It’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up.

Cop: Yeah, that’s not how field sobriety tests work.

The officer said, “You’re staggering.”

I said “You’re quite handsome yourself.”

We just laughed and laughed... I need bail money.
