2 of my dad's favorite jokes:
A drunk was stumbling through a Louisiana graveyard. Sure enough, he loses his balance on the edge of a newly-dug and empty grave. He falls into he hole and passes out, briefly. As the night drags on, he comes to and calls for help.
"Help me, I'm cold!!!"
"Help me, I'm cold!!!"
"Help me, I'm cold!!!"
Finally another drunk hears his cries and comes near enough to see what's going on.
"Help me, I'm cold!!!", cries the man in the grave.
"Well of course you;re cold", exclaims the new arrival. "You done gone kicked all the dirt off of you!!"

An ol' country boy had for years tried to get his big city lawyer brother to come out and visit for a hunting trip. Finally, one day, his lawyer brother said he had enough free time to make it. He shows up with new camo gear, a new shotgun, new waders, etc. THe country brother shakes his head, but still feels happy to see his brother, and trade stories long into the night.
Far before dawn, they awake, get dressed, and head out into the swamp, the bumpkin's mangy hunting mutt in tow.
Barely light enough to not walk into trees, they come upon a bunch of ducks. BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM!!! They both take careful aim, but only one duck falls from the sky. The hunting
mutt starts after the duck, goes *triptriptriptrip* acros the water, picks up the duck, goes *triptriptriptrip* back across the swamp to here they are standing, and drops the duck at her master's feet. No one says a word, and they keep on wading.
Again, they come upon a flock of ducks sitting in the water. BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM. The dog starts off again, same thing *triptriptriptrip* across the swamp water, picks up the duck, *triptriptriptrip* back to them, and drops the duck unscathed at her master's feet.
Finally the lawyer brother speaks up: "Now I didn't say anything the first time, cuz I thought I saw a goddamn lie. But did I just watch that mangy ol mutt walk *triptriptriptrip" across the water, pick up a duck, walk *triptriptriptrip* back here, and gice the duck to you?
"Yeahhhhhh" says his brother, "it's a goddamn embarrassment. I never could teach this stupid dog how to swim."
