Arkansas

Bubba and Billy Ray are from Arkansas visiting a relative in Texas.

Walking along Sam Houston Street, they see a sign on a store which reads,

Suits $5.00 each
Shirts $2.00 each
Trousers $2.50 per pair

Bubba says to his pal, "Billy Ray, Look! We could buy a whole lot of those, and when we get back to Arkansas, we could make a fortune. Now when we go into the shop, you be quiet, okay? Just let me do all the talking cause if they hear our accent, they might not be nice to us. I'll speak in my best Texas drawl."

They go in and Bubba says, "I'll take 50 suits at $5.00 each, 100 shirts at $2.00 each, and 50 pairs of trousers at $2.50 each. I'll back up my pickup and..."

The owner of the shop interrupts, "You're from Arkansas, aren't you?"

"Well, yes," says a surprised Bubba. "How come you know that?"

The owner says, "This is a dry-cleaners."
