Texas

The closest thing to heaven on earth!

A travelling salesman was in California and he saw a golden payphone. The sign below the phone said, "Direct Line to Heaven: $30,000." The salesman travelled all over the country and wherever he went, he saw the same type of phone with the same type of sign under it. "Direct Line to Heaven: $30,000." When he went to Texas, however, he saw the same type of phone and the sign under it said, "Direct Line to Heaven: 25 Cents." He commented on this to one of the locals. "Everywhere I go in this country, I see this type of phone and the sign under it says, 'Direct Line to Heaven: $30,000.' But when I see this same phone in Texas, it says, 'Direct Line to Heaven: 25 Cents.' Why do you suppose that is?" The man answered, "That's easy. From here, it's a local call."

oboe

A woodwind that is very difficult to play and is best taken in small doses!

What's the difference between an oboe and an onion? Nobody cries when you chop up the oboe.

ku klux klan

A bunch of morons running around with rags on their heads and bodies, claiming to be "Christians" while blatantly violating the 7th Commandment: "Thou shalt not kill." Notice it did not say, "Thou shalt not kill anyone except Black people, Asians, homosexuals, etc." But, no, they probably didn't notice that, being that they are also generally VERY uneducated. Also have some strange, obscure reason for hating Catholics. Also known as the KKK or the White Knights.

"The KKK had a rally in Jasper, TX."

Good God! Who let the crackers loose?
