Tennessee Ten Commandments

Some people in Tennessee have trouble with all those 'shall's' and 'shall not's'
in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some
folks in middle Tennessee got together and translated the 'King James' into
'JacksonCounty' language..... No joke, read on...

The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in
Gainesboro, TN)


(1) Just one God
(2) Put nothin' before God
(3) Watch yer mouth
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'
(5) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(6) No killin'
(7) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal
-8- Don't take what ain't yers
(9) No tellin' tales or gossipin'
(10) Don't be hank erin' for yer buddy's stuff


Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think? Y'all have a nice day.
