Little Johnny was five years old and just learning to read.He and his mother were reading a book on animals when he pointed at one page and cried, "Look, Mommy! It's a frickin' elephant!"
His mother took a deep breath and said, "What did you say?"
"It's a frickin' elephant, Mama! Look! It says so right here!"
And sure enough, there in big bold letters it read "African Elephant."

Good one RAC, ha
LOL...I can relate. But It's really special If said in line, at publix, behind an old couple from Indiana
Pat, I have lived in Floriduh too and you are so right about the "Q-tips" (as we called all the retired folk) in Publix. I especially liked to talk about those "dang Yankies ...." while I was inline.
Dang it! You did it to me again RAC'ster. I don't get it?
Oh, I get it now! a-fric-an. (Thanks DRL)
Any time bro.
Hey anytime I see african/American, it will be somehting else. Thanks RAC. I Love the way your mind works.
Pretty cool when your younger brother helps you out with a joke! :) Here, all this time I thought I was on the same 'wave length' as the RAC'meister. But he has proven to be of a superior mind :)
Now that was seriously funny DRL.
Wow Ric..I'm blonde. What's your excuse?
Pure ingnorance Pat, just pure ingorance. :(
Juls, I hear ya girl. Me thinks you didn't live here long. The blue hairs, or "Qtips" as you call em are a pain in ass during winter season. Yet, we all think they are good for economy. They didn't help us this last year....hmmmm, could it be because they think everything is better up north? They were tight this year, saving their money for Ohio or Indiana or Michigan..ETC.
I lived in Lakeland from 82 through 98. I made a living off the 'blue hairs' in my beauty shop. I loved them, those conservative Baptist have the best pot luck dinners anywhere!!
I also remember how poor of drivers the old folks were, "if you can't drive, stay off the sidewalks".
Juls, whats the matter with that, hum.
Rac, I was thinking about the story again. When I was forced to answer questions for the census people (I was forced to answer because I would not send in the questionare. They asked questions that had nothing to do woth the cencus. So over the phone, I was able to decline to answer questions), I answered that I was "American". They told me that was not an option. Next time I will say "a fricon American". He can mark it as he wishes.
I like that DRL, after all that is what we are.
