Southern Confidence Cannot be Shaken. God Bless your Little Heart! | Eastern NC Now

    This is just a southern joke; don't get you snickers in a wad.

    President Barack Obama was in the Oval Office when his telephone rang.

    "Hello, President Obama" a heavily accented southern voice said. "This is Bobby Tony, down here at Joe's Catfish Shack, in Mobile , and I am callin' to tell ya'll that we are officially declaring war on y'all!"

    "Well Bobby Tony," Barack replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?"

    "Right now," said Bobby Tony, after a moments calculation "there is myself, my cousin Gene, my next-door-neighbor Ted McD, and the whole ROMEO CLUB from Hooters. That makes eight!"

    Barack paused. "I must tell you Bobby Tony that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command."

    "Wow," said Bobby Tony. "I'll have to call ya back!"

    Sure enough, the next day, Bobby Tony called again. "Mr. Obama, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"

    "And what equipment would that be Bobby Tony?" Barack asked.

    "Well sir, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Harry's farm tractor."

    President Obama sighed. "I must tell you Bobby Tony, that I have 16,000 tanks and 14,000 armored personnel carriers. Also I've increased my army to one and a half million since we last spoke."

    "Lord above", said Bobby Tony, "I'll be getting back to ya."

    Sure enough, Bobby Tony called again the next day. "President Obama! I am sorry to have to tell you that we have had to call off this here war."

    "I'm sorry to hear that" said Barack. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

    "Well, sir," said Bobby Tony, "we've all sat ourselves down and had a long chat over sweet tea, and come to realize that there's just no way we can feed that many prisoners."

    SOUTHERN CONFIDENCE CANNOT BE SHAKEN GOD BLESS YOUR LITTLE HEART!
