Folks
Who Talk Funny
Down in Northeast Georgia
a lot of people from Florida have bought land and moved in for the summer.
One fall, about October, a man from the North who had read the Foxfire
books, came down first hand to meet some of the mountain people he had
been reading about. He pulled into a service station for a fill-up and
while he was there he inquired of the station attendant, "Where can I
find some of those people who talk so funny?" The attendant look at him
for a minute and replied. "You're too late, they've all gone back to Florida
for the winter."

Fourteen
Kids and One A- Comin'
There was this man that
had fourteen children, and the man swore to a neighbor that if his wife
became "expecting" again he'd shoot himself . Well, she did, and he took
his revolver and went out behind the barn. The neighbor came by inquiring
about him. His wife told him she'd seen her husband go out behind the barn
with his gun. The neighbor rushed behind the barn and found the man sitting
on a stump whittling with his gun laid beside him. " I was afraid you
were going to shoot yourself, " the neighbor said. " "Well, I was a-going
to," the man said, "but I got worrying that I might executing an innocent
man."

on an elderly lady.
She was sprightly and healthy,
and he remarked on her good condition.
"Have you ever been bedridden?"
he ask.
"Oh my, yes", she said.

Do
We Really Talk Funny?
The
Southerner talks music.
-Mark
Twain
From a time as old as mud,
folks in the South have had their own kind of language, so to speak. Different
dialects are used in different parts of the South. I have included some
from various parts and I suspect they were probably translated by others
being from not around here. Hope you enjoy these, but remember......we
from the South , think ya'll talk funny too!
