Folklore 3

Jokelore, RL Baker;

Summary;
A collection of jokes the almost exclusively pokes fun at 'Kentuckians'. When a Hoosier is mentioned in the joke, they are seen as being superior in some way.

Reactions;
I was surprised at the number of jokes that I had heard, but not dealing with Kentuckians. For example, I had heard almost the exact same joke about jumping out of a plane before, but instead of a Hoosier and a Kentuckian, it was an American and a German with a punchline about WWII.

Q&A;

How man of these are switched in Kentucky?

 Most of the jokes were based on the idea of Kentuckians being 'stupid', why the common theme?

Indiana Storyteller, Various

Summary;
A large collections of stories about a wide variety of topics. It is speculated if the stories are that - just stories, or if they're some truth to them.

Reactions;
I had not heard a single story listed here or any variation of them. I did appreciate that an attempt to capture the accent was made - words were spelled as they sound, not as they're actually spelled. 

Q&A;

I was once told that to be a good story teller, one must be a good lair. How true is that statement?

Is there a difference between telling a story, and telling a truth?
