[Doug Ridley]

A real Kentucky father and son team.---
The father waits in the pickup truck while the son goes in to see if they have any 4 x 2s. The salesman says, "Oh you mean 2 x 4s." The son isn't so sure, so he goes back out and asks the father if 2 x 4s will be okay. "Whatever," says the dad.

Next, the salesman asks, "How long do you want them?" Puzzled, the son goes back to the truck and again consults his father. The ol' man says, "Tell him we're building a house, so we'll need 'em for a long time." Only in Ky., or maybe not....

Good one Doug. The sad thing is, I know a father and son that could happen with.

This was a Yooper father-son carpenter crew.

Jr. is working on putting siding up but he's throwing about every 4th nail on the ground. Pop comes along, and as he is the main contractor, is a bit concerned about the waste of the nails.

He askes Jr. what the problem is, and Jr. replies "Da heads is on da wrong ends."

Pop replies, "You stupids, dose are for da udder side a da house!"
