A ventriloquist is on-stage in a Southern nightclub. He’s going through his usual stupid red-neck jokes, when a big burly guy in the audience stands up and says, “I’ve heard just about enough of your hillbilly jokes. We ain’t all stupid down here!”

The ventriloquist began to apologize, when the big guy says, “You stay out of this mister! I am talking to the little jerk on your knee."
