Early Texas governors were not very well educated. There was
once a chief executive who thought "grammar" was his father’s
mother.
On one occasion this governor went hunting and forgot his gun.
He phoned his secretary and asked him to send the gun.
"The phone connections bad," said the secretary. "I couldn’t
catch that last word. Spell it."
The governor replied, " G like in Jesus; U like in onion; N like
in pneumonia - GUN, you damn fool!"

TV quiz show. The
host asked them to complete the sentence: "Old MacDonald had a

The Indianan said, "Old MacDonald had a carburetor."
"Sorry," said the MC. "Thats incorrect."
"Old MacDonald had a flat tire," said the Kentuckian.
"Wrong," said the host.
"Old MacDonald had a farm," said the West Virginian.
"That’s correct!" shouted the MC.
"Now for $200,000, spell farm."
The West Virginian thought hard and then spelled carefully:
"E-I-E-I-O."
