- W'atcha do with the money, son?

- Ah bought me a wristwatch, Pappy! - answered the boy.

- Yew dumb ignoramous! - yelled his father.

- Yew should 'av bought yoreself a rifle!

- A rifle? What fer?

- Suppos'n one day yew cum home and find some guy sleepin' wid yore wife - explained the older redneck.

- W'atcha gonna do? Wake him up and ask him what time it is?
