It Could Happen!
Published Jan 01, 1900
A young ventriloquist is touring the Southwest and stops to entertain in an Arkansas bar. He's going through his usual stupid redneck jokes, when a big burly guy in the audience stands up and says threateningly, I've heard just about enough of your smart mouth hillbilly jokes - we ain't all stupid here in Arkansas!"
Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to apologize, when the big guy interrupts him and says, You stay out of this mister-I'm talking to the smart mouth little fella on your knee!"
