I'm a North Carolina Kind of Gal

I probably shouldn't just post jokes making the rounds on email, but these made me laugh too much. Especially considering right before I read them I had a conversation where I described distance in hours to a friend with a son named Trey, and I'm freezing today because it's in the 60's. I may not live in North Carolina right now, but North Carolina will always be a part of me. And yes, I can answer in the affirmative to each of these.
