Grammar Lesson
A girl from Georgia and a girl from the west coast were seated side by side on an airplane.
The girl from Georgia, being friendly and all, said, "So, where y'all from?"
The west coast girl said, "From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence."
The girl from Georgia sat quietly for a few moments and then in her Sweetest Southern Accent replied:
"So, where y'all from, bitch?"

Great one! But, NDD - I'm supposing the spelling of 'grammer' was part of the joke. Si, mi hermano?

It's NDD, of course it is part of the joke.
Good joke too.

Jeez, Bill - you're not even letting me get my dig in on NDD, chief of the grammar and spelling police.

I see the Southern spelling was a waste with some of the audience. Never mind, I fixed it.

all you had to do was say "Shut up X" I have no feelings left to hurt.

Punctuation makes a difference as well...
"Let's eat Grandma" is much different than "Let's eat, Grandma".
