A good old Alabama boy won a bass boat in a raffle drawing. He carried it home, and his wife asked him, “What are you going to do with that? “There isn’t any water deep enough to float a boat within 100 miles of here.” He elaborates: “I won it and I’m a gonna keep it.”

A few days later, his brother visited him. When he sees the wife, he asks her where his brother is. She responds, “He’s out there in his bass boat,” pointing to the field behind the house.

The brother goes out behind the house and finds his brother in the middle of a large field, sitting in a bass boat with a fishing rod in his hand. He yells at him, “What are you going?” His sibling responds, “I’m fishing.” What do I appear to be up to?”

His brother exclaims, “It’s people like you that give people from Alabama a poor reputation, making everyone think we’re ignorant. “If I could swim, I would come out there and whip your ass!”
