I lived in northwestern Arkansas in the 50's. It was still hillbilly country back then. A young man was caught selling moonshine (untaxed whiskey) and sentenced to a year in Federal prison.
A few weeks later, his mother sent him a letter. "Son, I don't want to burden you, but since your Pa died, you have exchanged work with a neighbor, and then he comes with his mules and plows the corn patch so we can plant the corn. With you in prison, there is no way to get the patch plowed. We use that corn for food in the winter. So, I probably will not survive the winter with no food. I love you, son, and want you to know you will never see me alive again."
He wrote back, and said, "Mom, when Pa died, I told you I would take care of you somehow as long as I had breathe in my body. I buried a couple hundred jugs of moonshine in the corn patch, and when you run short, dig up a few jugs and sell them."
She wrote back, "Son, I would rather have died still believing in you. We taught you never to lie. You told me there was moonshine buried in the corn patch. I dug some and found none, then Federal Agents came and dug up the entire field, and there was no moonshine there. I am ashamed you told such a lie to your own mother."
He wrote back, "Mom, you can plant the corn now."

these are my favs.
How are women and tornadoes alike?
They both moan like hell when they come, and take the house when they leave.
A man and his wife go to their honeymoon hotel for their 25th anniversary. As the couple reflected on that magical evening 25 years ago, the wife asked the husband, "When you first saw my naked body in front of you, what was going through your mind?"
The husband replied, "All I wanted to do was to **** your brains out, and suck your **** dry."
Then, as the wife undressed, she asked, "What are you thinking now?"
He replied, "It looks as if I did a pretty good job."
