John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Kentucky .

After spending a great evening chatting the night away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast.

However, John notice a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, "are these plates clean?"

His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal sonny!"

For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "are you sure these plates are clean?"

Without looking up the old man said, "I told you before sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!"

Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. John yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car".

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted ... "COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN!!!!"

I am surprised at this day and age we can still find anti-Kentuckian humour... I am astounded that here, in a forum dedicated to the building up of acceptance of rural values, that we have this type of humour in our midst.

Further, as a long time admirer of the great state of Kentucky, having spent some time there.... I must say that I find this type of humour... well, funny....

Oh Christopher, I didn't even think of the implications revolving around any form of racist volume, I just thought of it as being funny...from a time management point of view :P

*sigh* it can be very easy to offend anyone these days...maybe I should have editted it to read he visted his grandfather just in a rural area!!

Sorry, I was having apiss... um, and it was funny... and.. my wife would tell you I used to have my dog prewash my bowl (never happened :oops: ).

It is unlikely to offend anyone from Tennessee!

c,

My 3 year old daughter subscribes to the Dog cleaning bowl faction, you have to be really quick to stop her "sharing" her meals...

She is forever telling me..."but Toby TOLD me he was hungry!!"

Don't worry about the people from Kentucky getting their backs up... most of 'em can't read anyway....

(Lots of others can't read, either, but it isn't really due to where they're from, it's due to the American Public School System, which is designed to teach illiteracy and excessive consumerism.)
