THE SHORE --- YOU GOTTA LOVE IT

Salisbury

The owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, 'You graduated from the Salisbury University and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?'

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, 'Everything but my earrings.'

Cambridge

A group of Dorchester County friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. 'Where's Henry?' the others asked.

'Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail,' the successful hunter replied.

'You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?' they inquired..

'A tough call,' nodded the hunter 'But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!'

Denton

The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriff asked, 'Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head'. 'Yep', he replied. 'That's why I dumpin' it here, cause it says:
'Fine For Dumping Garbage'.

Chestertown
A senior at Washington College was overheard saying... 'When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Chestertown .' When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Chestertown because everything happens in Chestertown 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world.

Pocomoke City
The young man from Pocomoke City came running into the store and said to his buddy, 'Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!'

Bubba replied, 'Did you see who it was?'

The young man answered, 'I couldn't tell, but I got his license number.'

Crisfield

A Maryland State trooper pulled over a pickup on Rt 13. The trooper asked, 'Got any I. D. ?' 20

The driver replied, 'Bout whut?'

Princess Anne

A man in Princess Anne had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it.

Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.

The man replied, 'I have a flat tire.'

The passerby asked, 'But what's with the flowers?'

The man responded, 'When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. Hey, it don't make no sense to me neither.'

'HEY - You can say what you want about the Shore, but I ain't never heard of anyone wanting to retire to Ballmur!!!!

Understand about Balmurr. Nancy Pelosi is further evidence why some refer to Baltimorons. I am refering to her statements to Sephonopalous that 650 million to planned parenthood for condoms and abortions will stimulate the economy by reducing costs to states and local governments. Just unbelievable, incredible, amazing, frustrating, ......May stimulate something, but it sure won't be the economy.

I never understood the Baltimoron adjective either. Ppl that use that should google the local education level on the shore and think twice about what they say. In my 3 years living on the shore I've never seen so many grammar and spelling errors.

People move here to die, big deal. lol
