A guy walks into a bar in Alabama and orders a white wine. All the hillbillies sitting around the bar look up,
expecting to see some pitiful Yankee from the north.

The bartender says, "You ain't from around here, are ya?" The guy says, "No, I'm from Canada."
The bartender says, "What do you do in  Canada?"
The guy says, "I'm a taxidermist." The bartender says,
"A taxidermist? What in tarnation is a taxidermist? Do you drive a taxi?"
"No, a taxidermist doesn't drive a taxi. I mount animals."

The bartender grins and hollers, "It's okay boys. He's one of us."

I don't know if I should laugh or just shake my head

Both.

I imagine the rate at which Alabamians are familiar with taxidermy is as high as any other state in the nation, and maybe higher.

god I miss the south.
