Not your typical Aggie joke, but I thought it was funny, so I'm posting it! **************************************************** Two little boys were playing football in a park in College Station, Texas and one was suddenly under attack by a rabid rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped off a board from a nearby fence, wedged it down the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck. A reporter who was strolling by saw the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. "FUTURE AGGIE SAVES FRIEND FROM VICIOUS ANIMAL," he starts writing in his notebook. "But I'm not going to be an Aggie," the little boy told him. "Sorry, since we're in College Station, I just assumed you were," said the reporter. He starts again, "YOUNG AGGIE FOOTBALL FAN RESCUES FRIEND FROM HORRIFIC ATTACK," wrote the reporter. "I'm not an Aggie football fan either," said the boy. "Well, gosh, " said the reporter, "I thought everyone in the College Station area pulled for Texas A&M. Just who do you root for?" the reporter asked. "I'm a longhorn fan," said the boy with pride. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook, "LITTLE HIPPIE FREAK-BOY MURDERS BELOVED FAMILY PET."
RMTEX- Are you reading that book "Backyard Brawl" right now as well? It's a book about the UT-A&M football rivalry, and I read that page with some of the Aggie jokes last night. So far, the book's a pretty decent read, although I think it's the material more so than the author's writing style that has pulled me in. I loved all of the Darrell Royal sayings, too. "The sun don't shine on the same dog's ass every day" is a classic!
An Aggie went riding, and everything was going fine until the horse suddenly started bouncing out of control. He tried to hang on, but with a foot caught in the stirrup, he fell off head-first. With his head bouncing up and down, the horse didn't even slow down. And just as the Aggie was giving up hope and losing consciousness, a Kmart employee came out and unplugged it.
No, I haven't read it yet, but quite a few of my Longhorn and Aggie friends have and each one said it was a great read. Unfortunately I have a stack of about 5 books to read right now and I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to make a dent in the reading stack. Gotta plan a vacation or something to get after 'em. I will be reading "Backyard Brawl" eventually!
