Rather than Jeff Foxworthy, it is more of a Bill Engvall joke. "Here's your sign..."
Like jasanne said, I would never have the nerve, even though I would want to try it. Of course, catch me on a bad day and, well, who knows what might come out of my mouth! (no profanity though, I can guarantee that...)
3794I've seen it before, but it's so funny... Apparently I had a Great Uncle who would likely have done something like this. If someone tooted him at an intersection he would stop his car, get out and walk back and ask them - deadpan faced - what they wanted, and go on that they had tooted him so they must have wanted to speak to him... Might be in the family, but I'd never have the nerve!!!!!!!!

46153I have 2 little Pekingese Girls looking at me like I am crazy! I can not quit laughing. This was as good as it gets when it comes to funny! I have an uncle that I can just hear saying something like that and not cracking a smile. Joke or not, I wouldn't take anything for that tonight! Thanks for the laughter! Linda
24961Too much Purina dog food!!! I had a can of left over dog food. I lost my dog last summer. I decided to give it to the cat. I opened the can and put about half in my KiKi's dish. She took one sniff and walked out of the room. I guess there is a difference!!!
