The Watermelon Joke That Saved Me After I Got Pulled Over

[@stanleypierce706]

I got pulled over by a cop in Georgia, going to a gig. He thought I was joking when I told him I sang country music. Three bars of He Stopped Loving Her Today and I was on my way without a ticket.. Thanks GEORGE JONES..

[@shannonwalker5663]

R.I.P. GEORGE JONES.. if drinking dont kill me is one of my favorites

[@leetjohnson]

My favorite is "Choices". Such a good song and words to live by.

[@LambentLark]

That's hilarious. Myself, I would have ended up in jail. I would have been silly and chose the rodeo song, only to find out the cop was the church deacon.

[@eligebrown8998]

You are so right

[@KM_1983]

We are. The media and policians are pushing so hard to try to make America look like it is racist. We have moved past that time. Sure, there are always some who will never change but they are so small. But now, they try and make EVERYTHING about race. The word of Martin Luther King JR are being lost. We worked so hard for it to be about a persons character not their skin color. Now, you are judged by something you cannot change. Now, if you white you are judged evil and racist and nothing can change that. Just give all your money and everything you own to a person of color. It won't change that you are evil because of how you were born... but do it anyways. We need to stop listening to these racist people and come together as AMERICANS. Together we can do anything. Divided We are doomed to fail.

I understand that social media. And the news and also politics try to twist are brains and thoughts. It's just that these bad apples ruin all the fun stuff that used to be awesome. Even a simple traffic stop can turn into a disaster. A time when you could leave your doors unlocked, everyone knew there neighbors. Mental health declining a direct reflection to social media's.

@Todd Nichol He never said the woman was white or black, that's why the joke was funny. And, if you think Rickey Smiley is going to tell a cop a joke that belittles blacks, just to get out of a ticket, then you don't know Rickey Smiley. White people can tell the joke also, because believe it or not, in the South, white people sit on their porches eating watermelon also. That's why the joke is universally funny. He never described the woman, just the dress 😅
