Fake Carolina Drawl

Bubba and Billy Bob, two good-old boys from West Virginia, were on their way to visit a relative in North Carolina when they stopped for lunch in Fayetteville.

They were walking along the street when they saw a sign on a store which read, "Suits $5.00 each, Shirts $2.00 each, Trousers $2.50 per pair."

Bubba said to his pal, "Billy Bob, "Lookey here! We could buy a whole bunch of these here clothes, take 'em back to West Virginia, an' sell 'em to our friends, and we'll make a fortune. Now when we go in there you just be real quiet, okay? Just let me do the talkin' cause if they hear your accent, they might think we're ignorant, and not wanna sell that stuff to us. But, I'll talk in a slow Carolina drawl so's they won't know."

They went in and Bubba said with his best fake Carolina drawl, "I'll take 50 of them suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them there shirts at $2.00 each, and 50 pairs of them there trousers at $2.50 each. I'll back up my pickup and...”

The owner of the shop interrupted him and said, "Ya'll are from West Virginia, ain't you?"

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

The owner said, "Because this here is a dry-cleaners."
