If you are from the west or eat Mexican food you probably know what a Chimichanga is for the benifit of those who might not it is a deep fried burrito basiclly.
I live now in the deep south of USA, Mississippi and in the country too boot.
Many jokes about southerners and slowness have been tossed around many years. Along with Blonde jokes.
Here is the Humor Warning it is not PC and has stereotyping
This is all true.
I walk in to our closest convienence store after picking upwhat I wanted I go to the counter to pay, I notice they had Chimichangas for sale. I said to the blonde lady Let me have one of those Chimichangas Please. she looked at me blankly I pointed to the item. She said " That ain’t no chimi whatsit, its a Boe -ree- toe. I smiled and explained that in Mexican food it is a chimichanga. the Lady who is older then I by about a decade looked at me like I was just the dumbest thing to walk the earth. Shook her head and said, “Honey I know what it is , it is a Boe-ree-toe, we are the ones who fry our food. I just paid and left trying not to bust out with laughter. I was firmly put in my place about Southern cooking.
5 days later we had some fresh berries I had picked, I wanted some whipped topping to go on them, So I go down to the same store. The same lady is attending the counter. I search for any type of whipped cream ,Frozen, liquid, can , powdered , None could I find, I thought perhaps I was just not seeing it. I aproached the lady and inquired about whipped cream for my berries. She smiled and told me that some very good cream to put on my berries was right next to the coffee and sugar, I walked to the aisle and looked next to the coffee and sugar, I saw coffee creamer, I just stood there debating if this lady was yanking my chain or not. I took the chance, I held it up ,showed it to her, watching her face very closely, " yea honeee that there is it ,I use that all the time, it is for berries, its guud too, I just smiled set it down ,desperately grasping at anything but, laughter,to come in my head, I just grabbed a big box of vanilla pudding and walked to the counter as straight faced as possible. I told her I remembered my husband loves vanilla pudding and berries. After I made the purchase I walked to my car got in, closed the door, put my head against the wheel and started laughing, My son was in the car and asked me what I was laughing at, the only thing I could say was the Boe-ree-toe lady struck again, and laughed. It took a few minutes to gain control.
Wait she is not done yet
A couple weeks later a stray orange kitten was wandering around the store parking lot crying, I inquired within about the kitten, the lady was behind the counter and a guy, plus several customers, they explained no one had been able to catch that one, the other kittens that got dumped were picked up by various people and taken to their homes. Along with my purchases I bought a can of cat food, I said well let me give it a shot, I walked out convinced the little guy to come to me, and put him in the car. It took 3 minutes tops. I walked back in and asked for a bag to cover the food, the guy said “you giving up?” as he handed me the bag. I said “no he is in the car.” The lady looked totally surprised and said” How did you do that? Even the Veet-na-meeese couln’t catch it." I was soooo tempted to ask what that meant but I was too afraid the answer would make me bust into uncontrolable laughter. I just smiled took the bag, thanked them and said I am good with animals. I had to walk out fast The giggles were bubbling up. The Boe-ree-toe lady struck again.
The punch line to all of this is the store’s name which just makes even more funny; Two Crackers. BTW that is the kitten’s name ; Cracker, just had to name him that.
