THE SOONERER, THE BETTERER . . .

but hey...
ya never know...
do ya.

Ya gotta have faith, Bubba . . .

I'm not sure either. Depends on what's sooner. And even then, it could go either way.

One day chicken, the next day feathers . . .

I'm sick of chicken. And feathers make me sneeze. Try again.

Is "soonerer" even more Nebraskan?

It sure ain't in Kansas, Toto . . .

(as my daughter always says)

This is really funny, because one of the oldest jokes I remember has this very same quote.

Three Germans visiting the US for the very first time see a carnival with rides, so they agree to go see what they have.

As they start to browse around, they hear a barker selling tickets to a side show; "ladies and gentlemen, come and see our show to see some of the strangest humans you'll ever observe..." As they near the platform, they hear three Americans say "us three" to purchase their tickets. So the Germans follow suit, go to the ticket booth and says "us three."

They get their tickets, and go see the show.

After the show, they feel a little hungry, but are unsure how to order some hot dogs where they guy is saying "for 5c, for 5c." .

The three Germans decide that they should start learning English, so the first guy says, I'll remember "us three." The second guy says, I'll remember "for 5c, for 5c."

Then as they were approaching the hot dog stand, the vendor shouts "sooner the better, sooner the better..."

The third guy says, okay, I'll remember "sooner the better, sooner the better."

As they are going home, a fast car approaching hits a pedestrian, than runs off. They are shocked that such a thing could happen in the US.

They're dumbfounded and looking at the man badly hurt on the road, and they hear sirens coming.

The police comes, and the first one he sees are the three Germans, so he asks them; "who did this?" The first Germans says, "us three." The policeman asks, "what for?" The second German answers "for 5c, for 5c." The police then says, you'll go to prison for this.

You know the rest.
