Be Careful What You Ask For

Bubba Wayne and Billy Bob, who are both from Denton, Texas, traveled to Grand Lake, Oklahoma, for a vacation.

While walking along a busy downtown street, they see a sign in a store window which reads, "Suits $5.00 each, Shirts $2.00 each, and Trousers $2.50 a pair."

Bubba Wayne says, "Woo Hoo, Billy Bob! We could buy a whole gob of these clothes, take 'em back to Denton, sell 'em to all our friends and make a fortune fer us." Bubba Wayne continues, "Now when we go in there, don't you say a word, okay? Just let me do the talkin' 'cause if they hear your Texas accent, they might think we're ignorant, and they won't wanna sell them clothes to us. Now, I'll talk in a slow, fake Oklahoma drawl so's they won't know."

They go in and Bubba Wayne says with his best fake Oklahoma drawl, "I'll take 50 of them thar suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them thar shirts at $2.00 each, and 50 pairs of them thar trousers at $2.50 each. I'll just back up my pickup and..."

The owner of the shop interrupts, "Ya'll from Texas, ain'cha?"

"Well ... yeah," says a surprised Bubba Wayne. "How come you know that?"

The owner replies, "Cause this is a dry-cleaners."
