A good ole Mississippi boy won a bass boat in a raffle drawing. He brought it home and his wife looks at him and says, "What the hell you gonna do with that. There ain't no water deep enough to float a boat within 100 miles of here." He says, "I won it and I'm a gonna keep it."

His brother came over to visit several days later. He sees the wife and asks where his brother is. She says, "He's out there in his bass boat", pointing to the field behind the house.

The brother heads out behind the house and sees his brother sitting in a bass boat with a fishing rod in his hand down in the middle of a big field. He yells out to him, "What the hell are you doing?"

His brother replies, "I'm fishin. What the hell does it look like I'm a doing."

His brother yells, "It's people like you that give people from Mississippi a bad name, makin' everybody think we is stupid. If I could swim, I'd come out there and kick your ass."
