Agricultural and Mechanical.
Graduates of Texas A&M are called "Aggies," and are the subject of Aggie jokes, which are basically jokes about how dumb Aggies are:
Q: Why do Aggies hate M&Ms?
A: They're too hard to peel.
Q: How many Aggies does it take to eat an armadillo?
A: Three: one to eat it, two to stop cars. (Armadillos are frequent road-kill, for those who don't know)
Two Aggies go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment - the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods.
The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.
As they're driving home they're really depressed. One Aggie turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred bucks?"
The other Aggie says, "Wow! Then it's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"
**********************************************************************
A Florida State student, a Kansas State student, and an Aggie had all commited horrendous crimes and were going to be shot. The FSU guy was brought up and blindfolded. The general shouted, "Ready ....... aim..." and the FSU guy yelled, "Huricane!!," everybody ducked, and he ran away free.
Dismayed at losing their first prisioner, the guards brought up the KSU student with renewed vengence. They blindfolded him and the general commanded, "Ready......aim....." and the KSU guy shouted, "Tornado!!" and fearing for their lives, everybody ducked, and he ran away free.
Well, the Aggie has been watching all this and starts thinking, "They all yelled natural disasters and they got away, so I will too." So they brought him up and blinded folded him, the general shouted, "Ready ...... aim...." and the Aggie screamed, "Fire!!"

Q: Did you hear there aren't any cold drinks at Texas A&M any more?
A: They lost their recipe for ice.
Q: Did you know that there are three types of Aggies?
A: Those who can count and those who can't.
**********************************************************************
Did you hear about the Aggie at the stop sign? Well, he's still there.
Did you hear about the Aggie who was on the escalator? It stopped, and he was trapped for 3 hours.
And so it goes....
