Good one,Ralph!

Do you mind if I borrow it? Lemme see now- I can put NY Yankee shirts on the 3 guys in the boat. Then I can put another AL East team shirt on the guy in the water...

Naw,that won't work. The guy in the water in the Bosox shirt would keep letting the shark go through his legs!

You're welcome to it Jurassic Referee. I got the joke from a buddy via e mail and it was just too good to delete--I just had to post it somewhere, Ralph

When I heard that one the first time they were gator hunting along a bayou in LA. Can't remember the other school but the hunters were from LSU.

Either I am really on top of things or you need to get out more...if I was really sharp this morning I could probably come up with an aggie joke to use on you
