"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, the Sheriff's Deputies descend on Virgil's house and
search 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 after, 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!"
 
I find it hard to understand some American humour...try as I might to understand that joke, I don't exactly.:rolleyes:
 
it just perpetuates the stereotype of lazy Americans, Rah. Just smile and nod like you understood.

Very funny, Mith.

The humor of it is that if you called up the police and asked them to come chop your wood for you, they would decline, but by this man claiming that there was an illegal drug in the wood, the police were obligated to come and chop it up to either confirm or refute the claim of illegal drugs.

Personally, I would not qualify this as a traditional 'redneck' joke so much because it actually seems to have some intellect behind getting someone else to do your work for you, although because the work in question is chopping wood, which isn't a common chore outside the south, I can see where it might be categorized as such.
