Mt Whitney Zone Forums The Chat Room Where Are the Silly Jokes?

This is a real story, and actually happened right here in Fresno. Quite funny, but terribly sad, too.

I went to the phone store to get a new cell phone. The two young women who served me were very well-versed with the product & plans, etc.

On of them asked me where my accent came from. Now, I really don't have an accent, but I played along & said "the South".

So she guessed "Georgia" & I said "Nope", so she tried again with "Tennessee". Said "Nope", & she couldn't think of any more southern states. So I told her "Much further South".

At this stage of the story, I want to point out that earlier both ladies had stated that they were enrolled in the local State University.

So, now they couldn't think of anything further south. So I gave them a huge clue - "South of the Equator".

Big blank stares - then, "Are we supposed to know what that is?" from one of them!

I don't blame them - much of the educational system here is a vast wasteland - a very expensive vast wasteland.

Now can we get back to jokes?
