The banana story, the rat stomp, Ol' Brummy eating boiled okra and starting a dogfight.  They are as country as it gets.

Same here.

Me and the GF listened to a couple of his CDs while on a roadtrip to FL last week.
I've heard all his stories dozens of times, but I still laughed my butt off.

I can't find "marcel's invasion" whick makes me crack up every time, but here are a couple of my other favorites. I grew up as a kid listening to him and my dad and granddaddy grew up like he did.

The only celebrity that when I heard he had died I literally cried. He was like part of the family.

Look for "the rattlesnake roundup", and my absolute favorite is about when he played football at mississippi state & a fellow player's father comes to visit I think titled "Who would you want blocking for you?"

THIS... Saw him live several times at farm shows in NC.  A few years before he passed away I was walking around at an event (tractor show) put on by a small local volunteer fire department and Ruritan Club for fundraising.  Turned around and there was Jerry in his red rhinestone suit walking around and looking at the exhibits.  Just as nice a person as you would ever want to meet.  

He ended up doing an off the cuff show for the event to help with the fundraising.  My uncle was in the Ruritan Club at the time.  They had no idea he was coming and even though offered, he refused any money from them.

Just a kind (FUNNY) southern gentleman.

One of the first I heard was the chiffa robe story ( sorry about the spelling) but perhaps the funniest was marcel and his dual chainsaws and the bar. One of the nicer things about his material was that you could KNOW without a doubt that it was totally safe for all ages. His humor was real life and without vulgarity.

That reminds me. I need to see about picking up some of his recordings on cd if I can find them.
