The_Munchmaster Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 How do ya know when you're stayin' in a Tennessee hotel? When ya call the front desk and say, "I gotta leak in my sink" and the clerk replies, "Go ahead". A Tennessee State trooper pulls over a pickup and says to the driver, "Got any I.D.?" and the driver replies "Bout what?" A new law has been passed in Tennessee. When a couple gets divorced, they're STILL cousins. A guy walks into a Tennessee bar and orders a drink. The bartender looks at the man and says, "You aint from 'round hear are ya?" "No" replies the man, "I'm from Pennsylvania". The bartender looks at him and says, "Well, what do ya do in Pennsylvania?" "I'm a taxidermist", said the man. The bartender, looking very bewildered now asks, "What in the world is a tax-e-derm-ist?" The man says, "I mount animals". The bartender stands back and hollers to the whole bar, "It's okay boys, he's one of us!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 In case anybody wondered: "The term "Hill-Billies" is first encountered in documents from 17th century Ireland. Roman Catholic King James II landed at Kinsale in Ireland in 1689 and began to raise a Catholic army in an attempt to regain the British throne. Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange, led an English counter force into Ireland and defeated James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. A significant portion of William III's army was composed of Protestants of Scottish descent (Planters) who had settled in Ulster in northern Ireland. The southern Irish Catholic supporters of James II referred to these northern Protestant supporters of King William as "Hill-Billies" and "Billy Boys" -- Billy being an abbreviation of William; the term "Billy Boy" is still used today, mainly in Northern Ireland. The Catholics and Protestants were at war and the terms were not spoken in kindness. Supporters of King William more generally came to be known as Orangemen. "It is believed that the term "hillbilly" in the United States was conferred during the early 18th Century by the occupying British soldiers as a carry over from the Irish term, in referring to Scotch-Irish immigrants of mainly Presbyterian origin, dwelling in the frontier areas of the Appalachian Mountains. These Protestant Irish colonists brought their cultural traditions with them when they immigrated. Many of their stories, songs and ballads dealt with the history of their Ulster and Lowland Scot homelands, especially relating the tale of the Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange."
