Polly's Joke with an aggressive "edge"

I like Polly's joke best, it's short and to the point . This one is a
"wordier" and has a bit of an "edge" to it. By referencing the fact it's
in the deep South, it can help more people to "get" it. Let the Christmas
festivities begin! Polly and Jo have spoken!!!!!!!


================================================== ================================================== =========
A journalist was in a small Alabama town to write up a Christmas report. As
he entered the town square, he was impressed to see a quaint Nativity scene
with figures of Mary, Joseph, the Baby Jesus, and the three wise men. One
thing puzzled him though ... the wise men were all wearing firemen's hats.
He went back to the motel and asked the girl at the front desk if she knew
why the wise men were wearing firemen's hats.

"City folk," she replied, "Ya think ya know ever'thang, don't ya? Y'all
ain't nuthin' but city folk who don't read the Bible!"

"Pardon me, but I do read the Bible," he replied. "There's nothing in the
Bible about firemen's hats!"

Muttering under her breath, she pulled out a Bible from under the desk and
said, "Looky right here. It says, 'They came down from afar'!"

You are raht! I received this joke a while ago and didn't save it to my
computer. But Google is an amazing thing....I found it on a joke site under
"Redneck jokes". We should do some revising with input from those who speak
the "real deal".

Well, for one thing, saying 'right here' is simply not done. It's more like
'ryecheer'. Polly

Everyone with a correction should add it to the joke until we get it just
right...er, I mean, raht. Instead of "ryecheer", I've heard it as
"rot-cheer"....bad Yankee ears I guess.

Except that T isn't pronounced with the Right... it's built into the
start of the "here" which makes it "tchere" - Rai tchere. instead of rot
cheer.
