[Lexicog] Re: overly talkative

[Chaz Mortensen]

Then there's the one about the two potato farmers from Maine and the  
visiting Texan.

The two farmers are quietly sitting on nail kegs outside the general  
store when a Texan roars up in his motor home. He gets out, walks up  
and says "hi, y'all!" Then he walks into the store to get some  
camping supplies. After a while, he comes out, says "Bye, y'all!" and  
takes off in the motor home. After about half an hour one potato  
farmer says to the other, "Talkative guy, wasn't he?"
