WHY REDNECKS AREN'T PARAMEDICS

Mar 6, 2004 1:08AM PST

A couple of rednecks are out in the woods hunting when
one of them suddenly grabs his chest and falls to the
ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing; his eyes are
rolled back in his head.
The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911.
He gasps to the operator,"I think Bubba is dead! What
should I do?
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take
it easy and follow my instructions. First, let's make sure
he's dead."
There is a silence ... and then a shot is heard.
The guy's voice comes back on the line, "Okay, now what?"

(giggle!)

That reminded me of an old joke I can't fully remember. Something about a fellow riding a motorcycle. He had put on his jacket backwards to help cut the wind. After he crashed, another guy came by, and called for help. As the EMT walked up, he asked, "Is he still breathing?" To which the good Samaritan replied, "He was. But the poor fellow's head had been turned backwards, and he stopped when I turned it around."

Like I said, there was more to it. Happy

Brother Dave Gardiner, Angeline...

Angeline, it was a comedy routine from a "Brother Dave" Gardiner record album in the early 1960's. Mr. Charles put Miss Baby's jacket on backwards. Mr. Charles was killed outright, but Miss Baby was alright 'till the kids truned her head around.

Angeline, I checked my CD collection. He told that story on the "Rejoice, Dear Hearts!" album that he recorded for RCA in 1959.

Two Norwegians were out in the woods hunting. After some time, they did manage to bag a buck. They each grabbed a rear leg and began dragging the deer back to their car. Eventually, Swen turned to Olie and said, "You know, I think it would be a lot easier if we dragged it by the horns." They did that and found it was easier. After another period of time had passed, Olie turned to Swen and said, "Swen, you were right. This is a lot easier, but there's one thing I don't understand. With each step, we're getting farther away from the car."
