Thursday, October 13, 2011Good morning crew,
Joe, I have enjoyed getting your jokes for many years, but your latest joke poking fun at the Alabama football player backfired.
Those in the Windy City may not realize this, but ya'll is plural. Even a football player from Alabama would not call an individual, ya'll. It would be more likely that the young woman from Yale would make this mistake than the young man from Alabama. --Renee Dear Renee, I hate to differ, but I have done my research and the consensus of opinion seems to be that "y'all" is singular while "all y'all" is plural. Don't cast stones at me. I don't make up the rules, I just report the insanity.
Now all y'all have a great weekend, ya hear?
Laugh it up,
Joe

***Sitting in the first row of coach class during a lengthy flight, my wife and I were able to hear a flight attendant as he pushed a wine cart down the aisle in the first-class section. "Would you care for chardonnay or burgundy?" he asked the high-paying passengers.
A few minutes later the attendant opened the curtain between the two sections, offered wine to one final first-class patron, then wheeled the same cart forward to our aisle. "Excuse me," he said, looking down at us, "would you care for a glass of wine? We have white and red."
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*A minor league ballplayer, left in charge of a baby cousin, suddenly realized that he did not have the least idea how to change a diaper. Frantically, he called a friend who was luckily a father.
The friend calmed down the ballplayer, then gave him the following instructions. "Place the diaper in the position of a baseball diamond, with you at bat. Fold second base over home plate. Place baby on pitcher's mound, then pin first base and third base at home plate!"
