Robin’s 2¢:
Billy Bob and Luther were talking one afternoon when Billy Bob told Luther, “Ya know, I reckon I’m ’bout ready for a vacation. Only this year I’m gonna do it a little different.
“Three years ago, you said to go to Hawaii. I went and Earlene got pregnant.
“Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas—and Earlene got pregnant again.
“Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earlene didn’t get pregnant again.”
“So, what you gonna do this year that’s different?” asked Luther.
“This year I’m taking Earlene with me,” Billy Bob replied.
