Craig in Alabama

Cooter and Billy Bob, who are both from rural Virgina, traveled to
Huntsville,Alabama for a vacation. While walking along a busy downtown street,
they see a sign in a store window which reads, "Suits $5.00 each, Shirts
$2.00 each and Trousers 2.50 a pair."
Cooter says,"Woo Hoo, Billy Bob! We could buy a whole gob of these
clothes, take 'em back to Virgina, sell 'em to all our friends and make a
fortune fer us." Cooter continues, "Now when we go in there, don't you say a
word, okay? Just let me do the talkin' 'cause if they hear your Virgina
accent, they might think we're ignorant, and they won't wanna sell thar them
clothes to us. Now, I'll talk in a slow, fake Alabama drawl so's they won't
know."
They go in and Cooter says with his best fake Alabama drawl, "I'll take
50 of them thar suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them thar shirts at $2.00 each,
and 50 pairs of them thar trousers at $2.50 each. I'll just back up my pickup
and......"
The owner of the shop interrupts, "Ya'll from Virgina, ain'cha?"
"Well....yeah," says a surprised Cooter.
"How come'd you know that?"
The owner replies, "Cause this here's a dry-cleaners."
