The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments

Having spent 8 glorious years in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I felt comfortable enough to post this one. Maybe "backwards" ain't so backwards after all! And don't forget, it's a sin to judge others. Besides, we know that y'all are just jealous that you don't live in such great state as Tennessee! Here is the email I received this morning, and I quote:

Some people in Tennessee have trouble with all those "shalls" and "shall nots" in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some folks in middle Tennessee got together and translated the "King James" into "Jackson County" language.... no joke, read on...The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, TN.)


(1) Just one God

(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa

(3) No tellin' tales or gossipin'

(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'

(5) Put nothin' before God

(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal

(7) No killin'

(8) Watch yer mouth

(9) Don't take what ain't yers

(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff

Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think? Y'all have a nice day.

Tye out.

P.S. I guess the northern version would be like: "what part of 'no' don't you understand?"
