Someone asked for a different Question

One time I was riding down a highway in Oklahoma with one of my cousins. We'd been drinking and he didn't drive very well to begin with. So we are cruising along and here comes the State Trooper. He pulls us over and comes up and starts talking to my cousin. The trooper tells him he is going to give him a ticket. My cousin said he didn't need no tick kit cause his dog hadn't even been out in the brush. So the trooper tells him , "no,..the ticket where you go to court and the judge fines you." My cousin told him no judge had to fine him cause he wasn't even lost. He was right here. Well the trooper is getting just a little mad by now and asked my cousin if he had any I.D. My cousin looked up with the dumb look and says, "Bout what?"

Have you ever been horribly embarrassed by a cousin or any other family member? (Is that a better question than bout Christmas shopping?)

i have stories about my dad but telling them effectively would require way too much back story. the man has a phd in psychology but is one of the most countrified people you'd ever want to meet... he's, er.... "different", let's just say.

I'd though my cousin was going to jail that day. But most everybody in that county is related in some way and they just flat don't arrest folks for just being a drunkin dumb smart a**.

When he told that trooper that the judge wouldn't have fine him cause he was right there and weren't lost....OMG, I just sort of melted down into the seat and tried to zen myself someplace else.

Autie - At least it was an Okie officer so he probably was just confused. Pull that in Kansas and you and yer cousin would be sitting in Lansing right now.

Oh Mel, you know, Okies. Like when I helped them move one time from Ardmore to Idabelle. We went down and CarriedOkie from one town to another. Least none of them ever robbed the place they worked then knocked themselves out and said somebody robbed me. But my one cousin was sitting in his dumptruck one time talking to the boys at the work site, when his foot slipped off the clutch and the truck jumped real hard and he knocked himself out cold on the rearview mirror.

Uh...?? Yeah. Once you get the couch tied to the top of the escort and the back of the truck is full of pink flamingos and broken lawn chairs and the kids swing set...how else you supposed to move? But I do believe the proper protocol is to use a borrowed trailer, never one of your own. And there is a mandatory beer to mover person ratio that must be followed with a minimum of one twelve pack per mover person..that is male mover persons. Female mover person require much less beer but a certain amount of Baily's Irish Cream or Hot Damn. The standard move from the standard double wide would require at least one ford escort, an old buick (any model), three pickups with one towing the old Chrysler and one towing the horse trailer. Did I miss anything there boys?

honeychild (Mel Briscoe) says…

i do think you missed something, autie... the trailer must be made of the bed of an inoperable pickup truck. you know, one of those slice the back half off, weld a hitch to it and call it a trailer jobs?

(hilarious post, btw! the visuals alone are effing priceless! LOL)

..... and lemme git this straight, guys, today we're picking on our neighbors to the south of us, not the neighbors to the east, right? because after that horrific story of incest and abuse that came out in the media yesterday, i was sure someone would start slamming missourians again (and after seeing that story, i started to wonder if what you all said was spot-on about missouri = ozarks = hillbillies).

By no means is this just an Okie thing, Mel. Feel free to jump all over the damn slavers to the east. OK is just easier for me cause I'm only a few miles away from the red dirt nation. Did you know that MacDonald county MO has the highest incidence of methamphetamine use and manufacture in the entire world? I guess thats what they do when they're not renting canoes or plucking chickens.

Roe, I have no idea what you wrote, but okay.
Now I think about it, we said ax for ask, and pitcher for picture. I used to be very embarrassed about it. Now I am proud of my heritage.
Thanks, Mulit, I have forgot my roots. Damn, and I was going to cast a spell.

autie, I grew up about halfway between Noel and Southwest City. I always liked the limestone bluffs along the river as you went to Noel. Can't remember the name of the river.
Everything was up or down a hill.
And, where did I go to college?

Ahh, the Elk River. Back in my younger days once I floated that passed out most of the way. I brought all my fishing gear, but nobody else did. And then the traffic on it was kind of high and made fishing pointless. Started to drink heavily.
