According to my home page, two armed Okie citizens shot and killed an active shooter. No charges have been filed against the citizens.

Therefore, I'm calling for a three day moratorium on Okie jokes out of respect for these guys.

Heroes....both of them !!!

The least we can do.

edit: PS if it was The People's Republik, those guys would need a Gofundme to make bail.

Pleasant surprise for me, I found out that Okies were good people. But, being a pollack I can relate to unfair and untrue stereotypes. Actually, I'm not even a pole, except in name only, I'm 3/4 German. Try to explain that concept to a Mexican. Can't be done. If you've tried it, you know what I mean.

But, getting back to Okies, they seem regular salt of the earth types, particularly no attitude like, well, you know? The world needs more Okies....and pollacks! Why not?

PS speaking of Poland. You know, in spite of the various personalities in Europe, seems like everybody has a hard on for Americans, but the Poles know what's going on, having had wars fought on their land for centuries. They also know about German nature. And they know about Russians. Boy, do they! They are one of the very few that are coughing up that 2% in NATO defense. They actually like Americans. How quaint! Canada could learn something, who's really their friends, etc. Speaking of which; how did that dink Troudeau ever get elected?

Edit to add: My Son-in-law came from Poland on a Green Card, now a proud US Citizen.

The poles are some of the finest people on the planet they fought the Germans with sticks while being slaughtered how is that for brave and determined. now with that being said why did the pollacks move out of the out house , because the Mexicans down stairs were making to much noise !

I remember the Polish jokes really subsided when Pope John Paul II and Lech Walenza (SP?) came to power. It was like people really respected what the poles did at that time.

....and don't forget, no matter the weight you give to faith, there is no doubt that believing in a Supreme being is vastly superior to atheism. The entire legitimate world abides by the Ten Commandments. It was no accident that those Cardinals elected a Pole since Poland is something north of 98% Catholic, more than Italy, which some people might find surprising.

However, this Pope Francis is the first one that I disagree with on several things. The most obnoxious is GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE. He needs to butt the fuck out of this issue. No proof, asshole! I never thought I could say that about any Pope, but I have no respect for this guy, at all. And, I was raised Catholic, Parochial school, First Communion, Confirmation, most all the sacraments, I'm pretty much inclined but this guy can kiss my ass!

Anyway, Poland is okay, in my book. The show Laugh In did much harm to the Polish image and they deserve to rot in hell for the damage they did to the reputation of all Poles.

Come to think of it I haven't heard any Okie jokes in a while.....Pollack jokes either. I guess in today's world there is a lot of other stuff that becomes the brunt of humor.

I remember that incident in OKC. It never got much attention around here....just filler in the nightly news. I'm sure it would have been alot different in other parts of the country.

Ok......three days are up.
Just for you, CrossJ.
And I wanna see if I can hear Paul groan half way across the state.

So this frog hops into the Oklahoma National Bank and goes up to the teller, one Miss Patricia Whack.
The frog introduces himself as Kermit Jagger, Mick's kid, and informs her that he wants to borrow money to go on vacation.
The teller tells him that loans can be arranged and that everybody just calls her Patty. Also he will need some form of collateral.
The frog hands her a small porcelain elephant as collateral and cannot understand her confusion when she tells hims that she will need to speak with her manager.
She tells the manager that a frog wants to borrow money and she doesn't even know what this thing he offered as collateral is.
The manager looked at the elephant and said;
"It's a knick-knack Patty Whack, give the frog his loan, 'cause his old man's a Rolling Stone."

This Okie walks into a bar with a parrot on his head. Bartender says; Wow, that's cool, where'd you get him? Parrot says: squawk-Oklahoma!

Ok Eddie;

Way back up the holler in the hills of Oklahoma there were two families that had been feuding for as long as anybody could remember.
The Mitches and the Mathers. Something to do with corn whiskey and a car radiator.
Anyway, one Fourth of July they decided to have a picnic and end the feud.
All was going well. The women were exchanging cooking recipes and the men-folk were telling outrageous lies.
Unfortunately, when they all sat down to eat, just as one of the Mather women was setting out a basket of biscuits one of the Mitch kids reached out with a fork and accidently poked Ms. Mather.

At this point the elder Mr. Mather shouted "THE FEUD'S BACK ON YOU MATHER FORKING SON OF A MITCH !!!"

Koko kept trying maybe 5 to 10 years you'll come up with a good one [Razz]

LB your almost as funny as Koko.
You sure you old boys ain't got some Okie in you LOL!!!

Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on July 17, 2018, 07:35 PM:

Well, that's the best that I can do. [Frown]

Don't think that I've got any Oakie in me but who knows, my family's been run out of more than one state.

I did hear something, though, about an Okie football team that adopted the 'possum as their mascot 'cause they wanted something that could play dead with them on the road. [Eek!]
