There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in the South.

The word jeet is actually a question meaning, 'Did you eat?'

  3. You should see how many tables the sporting goods stores set out for the new hunting and fishing season license. The single women at TOPS (take off pounds sensibly group) make cakes and cookies to show their talents off to the single men. Personally, I think these women would be better off introducing themselves at a lake shoreline.
