    (If there is a joke thread, I can't find it. If this gets moved - or for that matter ignored - that will be fine.)

    A student went to University of Alabama on a football scholarship. He was a great running back, but a poor student.
    At graduation, he didn't have enough credits. But he was a great football star and the students held a rally and demanded the dean give him
    a diploma anyway. They were so insistent that the dean agreed if Bubba could answer one question correctly he would give him a diploma.
    The one question test was held in the auditorium and all the students packed the place. It was standing room only.
    The dean was on the stage and told him to come up. The dean had the diploma in his hand and said, "Sir, if you can answer this question
    correctly I'll give you your diploma."
    He said he was ready and the dean asked him the question.
    "Sir," he said, "How much is three times seven?"
    He looked up at the ceiling and then down at his shoes, just pondering the question. The Alabama students began chanting, "Graduate him anyway!
    Graduate him anyway!"
    Suddenly, he held up his hand and the auditorium became silent. "I think I know the answer," he said. "Three times seven is twenty-one."
    A hush fell over the auditorium and the Alabama students began another chant....

    "Give him another chance! Give him another chance!"

    Dean was an alum, so he marked him wrong.

    An Alabama fan walks into the doctor's office one day with a hat on. He takes off his hat, and the doctor sees that there is a big frog sitting right on top of his head. The doctor looks at the man and asks him why he has a frog sitting on his head. It was the frog who replied "Actually doc, I was the one who wanted to see you. Can you remove this wart off my butt?"

    A man walks into a store says to the clerk, "I'd like a pair of red shoes, a white shirt, a pair of red pants, and a pair of white shoes." The clerk looks at him and shakes his head saying, "You must be an Alabama fan!" The man proclaims with pride, "How could you tell, was it the color scheme!" The clerk looks at him and says "No, this is a hardware store."

    Q. Why do Alabama students have TGIF on their shoes?

    What does an Alabama fan & a maggot have in common?

    They both can live 20 years off of a dead bear.

    Why doesn't Mississippi & Georgia slide into the Gulf of Mexico?

    Because Alabama sucks.

    Why do the birds fly upside down when they fly over Alabama?

    There's nothing worth taking a dump on.

    How do you know toothbrushes were invented in Alabama? If they were invented anywhere else they would be called teethbrushes.

    A group of scientists from The University of Tennessee, Auburn University and The University of Alabama were at a Space Conference. The University of Tennessee scientists were up first, They told the conference that they were planning to put a man on the moon in 6 weeks. Auburn was next. Not to be out done by Tennessee, they said that they were putting a man on the moon in 3 weeks. When Alabama came up, they could not be out done by either Tennessee or Auburn. They proudly proclaimed that they would put a man on the sun in one week. This caused mass confusion in the conference. Finally someone asked, how do you plan on putting a man on the sun in one week? The Alabama scientist finally said, "we're going at night!"
