TODAY'S JOKE:
Arkansas Engineering Exam
We are sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people in the South. We challenge any so-called smart Yankee to take this exam administered by the University of Arkansas Engineering Department:
Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10-pound possum.
