Ray & another businessman in NY City are sitting down for a break in their

>> No sooner are the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious

>>
>> Ray replies, "Oh! We're selling a$%&oles here."

>> Without skipping a beat, the southerner says, "Well, I see y'all're

>> NEW YORKERS (God bless 'em) SHOULD NOT MESS WITH SOUTHERNERS.

"Then Joannie walked in during the conversation and the Southerner quickly said, 'Ah, I see y'all are restocking'".

I haven't been to NYC since 1968.

Gee Ray, you are better than snopes.com. You just proved that story false. An Okie would never go to New York City.

Well, we thought it was odd too. But, you explained that Ritaanz gave you directions to NJ and you got lost. BTW, we put a premium price on you. That Southerner was looking for something cheaper.

joannie

Of course you did. That which is most valuable is always costlier.x:D

And the Southerner called us typical NY'ers, always overpricing everything. He said you weren't worth even half what we were asking. And I said you most certainly worth half.... or at least almost half.... well, you were probably good for something.

Well, as a businessman, I will hold out for the best price, I don't care if the buyer rides a horse, drives a Chevy pickup with a gun rack in the back or drives a Mercedes. But, I may have to do as Walmart does, slash your price to make you more desireable.

Have you kids had fun playing alone together? It would seem NY's definition for a price is different than an OK price; what is it again your setting Joannie's price for?

joannie

Hi Steaks,
I think Ray took a nappie poo, cause no one wanted to play.
