~ A Man Walks Into a Bah...

"A guy walks into a bar down in Alabama and orders a White Russian. Surprised, the bartender looks around and says, "You ain't from around here...where you from boy?

"I'm from Landsdale, Pennsylvannia."

"Whachu do up there in Pennsylvannia?"

"I'm a taxidermist."

"What did you say...attacks-sea-derm-mist? What the HELL is that?"

"I mount dead animals."

The bartender smiles and shouts to the whole bar, "It's okay boys...he's one of US!"


(1960's Bar Joke)
