A few good laughs to start off this weekend!

[NeverEnding]

A couple of friends and I like to take pokes at each other as we count down our days to retirement. So when I got this in an email yesterday I thought some of you might get a laugh or two out of it as well.

3. You know how to eat an artichoke.

You can retire to New York City where...

You can retire to the Deep South where...

1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
2. "Y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.

4. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob, Mary Ellen,

Good post, Never Ending!

Those were funny.

Would you mind telling us your first name?

[Neweller]

If you've traveled around the US, and stayed very long in any of those or similar areas, there is so much truth to those list. I'm sure some folks over joyed with those areas might beg to differ. But I'm in agreement with them all. LOL

You have got to be kidding. That is awesome. We have traveled full time for 18 years, and I can say this is right on!!! Hillarious too.
