On a Lighter Note

Nothing serious to write about today. Got the following in an email and unless you're from Oklahoma (or Arkansas, the south, etc.), you may not "get it." I have lived in Oklahoma all my life...sadly, this stuff makes sense to me. If you can't laugh at yourself from time to time, well then...
