OK jersey lilly, this one is for you. :lol: We will see how smart those darn Yankee's are! :D

Yankee test.

We are sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people in the South are.

We challenge any so-called smart Yankee to take this exam administered by the University of Arkansas Engineering Department:

1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10-pound possum.

2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard? A '65 Ford Fairlane, a '69 Chevrolet Chevelle or a '64 Pontiac GTO.

3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the finished product?

4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw which operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. -- --
How many Budweisers will be drunk before the trees are cut down?

5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented it's charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the percentage decrease in the ozone layer?

6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many hound dogs will be killed?

7. A man owns a Tennessee house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out on the front porch?

8. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that the truck will strike a vehicle with a muffler?

9. A coal mine operates a NFPA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Area. The mine employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of th 3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during that shift?

10. At a reduction in the gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer?

O.K. -- all you smarties answer up!

HaHaHa this reminds me of what happened the other day,

Mr Lilly and Lil Lilly went Christmas shoppin by themselves :shock:
He came home and as he's gettin outta the jeep, he tells me, "Open your mouth and close your eyes" :gag: Yeah right, he knows better'n to tell me that!!!! Cuz immediatly I'm suspicious.
He then proceeds to tell me that they went to the "health food store" and they had a machine there that you can type in information about someone, and it'll spit out a pill that is supposed to "fix" anything that's wrong with that person!!!! Bull Hockey!! I say.
Anyway, he says, "oh come on, just do it"
So I finally closed my eyes n opened my mouth, n he stuck somethin in there that felt bout like a horse pill, then he says, "chew it up" ...........this thing is, kinda, sweet on the outside, but I'm not sure bout chewin it up. I asked him, "What color is it?" He says, "green, of course" Finally, real slow like, I bit down...expectin a gel pill of some sort or somethin. It didnt taste all that bad, but resembled, ....??? green apple???
Was a daggum green apple jelly bean!!!!!! They'd been to the candy store, where ya scoop up and buy by the pound.

Later on that evenin, we hadda birthday party to go to, friend of ours turned 40 and plays in a band, they'd set him up, to play for his birthday, was great. But.........I pinched Mr Lilly on the hiney, n his eyes lit up!!!!! :D I said, "That's bout all the affect that pill had on me, next time you should maybe get somethin a lil stronger" :p :lol2: :mrgreen: :pretty: :lol2:
