A good ol’ Alabama boy won a bass boat in a raffle. When he brought it home, his wife looked at him and asked, “What are you gonna do with that? There ain’t any water deep enough within 100 miles to float a boat!” He replied confidently, “I won it, and I’m a gonna keep it.”

A few days later, his brother stopped by for a visit. Upon seeing the wife, he asked, “Where’s my brother?” She pointed out the back of the house and said, “He’s out there in his bass boat.”

The brother walks outside and sees his sibling sitting in the middle of a large field, fishing rod in hand, in the bass boat. He yells, “What in the world are you doing?” The man in the boat responds, “I’m fishing. What does it look like I’m doing?”

The brother, shaking his head, yells back, “You’re the kind of person that gives Alabama a bad name, making people think we’re all ignorant! If I could swim, I’d come out there and whip your ass!”
