Re: Get a Laugh, Got a Laugh> Post It....
ONLY IN MAINE...
1. "Downcellah" - A place underneath the main floor of youwah house. Probably cold and musty.
2. "Can't get thah from hee-ah!" - You'll heah this if you ask for directions to a place nobody knows about. Or, you might literally not be able to get there without first going North or South.
3. "Cunnin" - Something cute or adorable.
4. "Door Yahd" - This is a hotly contested one among folks here. Is it where you park the cah? Is it where you take off your boots? Is it both? I guess it's up for interpretation.
5. "Ayuh!" - A general acknowledgement that someone said something. Not always agreement, but not exactly disagreement.
6. "Willy Wacks" - This is, pretty much, the middle of nowhere. Sometimes it's "willy-wags" instead.
7. "Beans" - In other states, this might be something you have with dinnah. In Maine, it's the place you go for your boots and backpacks...This is also what Our Beautiful Western Maine Community is giving away this yeha, two LL Bean Backpacks full of school supplies.
8. "Flatlandah" - Someone from a big city - probably Portland. They've never been to the willy-wacks and ah used to...flat land.
9. "Stove Up" - If you get into a fendah bendah and end up with some major repairs you've "stove-up" your cah.
10. "From Away" - Used to describe anyone who wasn't born in Maine, who is visitin' or now lives herah.

Being originally from Connecticut and visiting Maine, those all sound pretty much right on.

How Rednecks Get Things Done
"Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?"
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
"I'm calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith. He's hidin' marijuana inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it inside them logs, but he's hidin' it there."
"Thank you very much for the call, sir."
The next day, twelve Sheriff's Deputies descend on Virgil's house. They searched the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana.
They sneer at Virgil and leave.
Shortly, the phone rings at Virgil's house.
"Hey, Virgil! This here's Floyd....Did the Sheriff come?"
"Yeah!"
"Did they chop your firewood?"
"Yep!"
"Happy Birthday, buddy!"

Re: Get a Laugh, Got a Laugh> Post It....
A terribly overweight blonde woman goes to her doctor about her weight, so her doctor puts her on a diet.
“I want you to eat vegetables and grains for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks.
The next time I see you, you will have lost at least 5 pounds.”
When the blonde returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds.
“Why, that’s amazing!” the doctor said, “Did you follow my instructions?”
The blonde nodded and said, “I’ll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day.”
“From hunger, you mean?”
“No, from skipping.”
