In a raffle drawing, a good old Alabama lad won a bass boat. 

He carried it home, and his wife asked, “What are you going to do with that?” Within 100 miles of here, there is no water deep enough to float a boat.” 

He states, “I won it, and I’m going to keep it.” 

Several days later, his brother paid him a visit. He notices the wife and inquires about his brother’s whereabouts. 

“He’s out there in his bass boat,” she replies, pointing to the field behind the home. 

The brother goes out behind the house and sees his brother sitting in a bass boat in the midst of a large field with a fishing rod in his hand. “What are you doing?” he shouts at him. 

“I’m fishing,” his brother responds. “What do I appear to be doing?” 

“It’s people like you who give Alabama a bad name, making everybody think we’re stupid,” his brother shouts. If I could swim, I’d come out there and spank your posterior!”
