Well it would be nice if you would actually add the joke!!

What's so funny is there isn't a joke-right?

<I>"A friend of mine was in Knoxville," said West.
The friend wanted to find Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin's house. When he finally found it, he saw a sign in the front yard: "Talking dog for sale."
The friend saw a Lab, sitting there.
"You the talking dog?"
"Yep," the dog said.
"What's your story?" the friend asked, and the dog told his tale.
He'd been talking all his life. He once worked for the CIA. After a while, he got tired of that and took a job in security at the Knoxville airport and -- it was about this exact moment that Kiffin showed up.
"You really selling the dog?" West's friend asked the Vols coach.
"Yes," said Kiffin. "Five bucks."
"Five bucks? Why would you sell a dog like that for five bucks?"
"He's a liar!" Kiffin said. "He didn't do any of that stuff!"</I>

Ummm... uhhh... hmmm...
Not what I'd call "bulletin board material"-- not even a new joke, for that matter. I believe Bob Weir used to tell that joke in between songs in the early '70's when he felt the Yellow Dog joke was getting stale.

HTML tags, BBCode tags. Whatever.

If the Vols need bulletin board material to beat Memphis I am going to have to stay a closet fan.. lol

Thanx for providing the so called joke VR :)

Huh???

Weak, FN, just weak.

Alright, I will raise my hand to say "I don't get it". Explain please to those of us that are feable minded.

Tennessee never seems to take Memphis seriously in football. Yes, the Tigers ARE terrible this year, and I think the Vols CAN beat them by 50, but I don't think they will. Memphis almost always plays at a higher level when they face UT.
There's no reason the Vols SHOULDN'T cover the spread (currently 26). That said, I wouldn't bet one cent on it. The Vols are already looking past this one (to the Ole Miss game/to a NYD Bowl game/etc), and I don't like that. I'll be content with a Vol win by any amount tomorrow. I think Lane will too, and that's why the idiotic bulletin board material went up.

T&R is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel

Wow, I figured it was something about pumping gas... oh wait

I bet that was so awkward after he said it....."hehhh...heehhh....Eh hemmmm...moving on!"

How do you figure that? It didn't say Lane was upset and crying....I think we've all seen this year that he has about 0 problem sharing his mind!

The only good thing about this story is that it's an opportunity to say Tennessee sucks!

A guy walks by a pond and hears a voice call to him, "Hey handsome, look over here".
The guy looks over and sees a frog sitting by the pond. He asks the frog, "Did you just talk to me?"
The frog says "yes, and if you kiss me I'll turn into a beautiful princess and make love to you every night".
The guy picks up the frog and puts it into his shirt pocket (without kissing it).
The frog yells at him "Hey! Didn't you hear me? If you kiss me I'll turn into a beautiful princess and make love to you every night".
The guy says "Yea I heard you... but I'd rather have a talking frog".

You're projecting.

Let's all pause for a moment to appreciate seth's avatar pic.

I suppose it implies that Kiffin is an idiot. Asking 5 bucks for a talking dog because it lies. It's a TALKING DOG and would be very valuable whatever it said.
