Today's Joke:
'Strology for Southerners:

Okra
Dec 22 - Jan 20
Although you appear crude, you are actually very slick on the
inside. Okra have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look
back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere.
Stay away from Moon Pies.

Chitlin
Jan 21 - Feb 19
Chitlins often come from humble backgrounds. Many times they're
uncomfortable talking about just where they came from. A
chitlin, however, can make something of himself if he's motivated
and has plenty of seasoning. When it comes to dealing with
Chitlins, be very careful. Chitlins can burn and then erupt like
Vesuvius, and this can make for a really terrible mess. Chitlins
are best with Catfish and Okra. Remember that when marriage time
rolls around. No, not with a Moon Pie.

Boll Weevil
Feb 20-Mar 20
You have an overwhelming curiosity. You're unsatisfied with the
surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the
interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very intense and
driven as if you had some inner hunger. Nobody in their right
mind is going to marry you, not even a Moon Pie, so don't worry
about it.

Moon Pie
Mar 21-April 20
You're the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch.
It's a cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies.
Big and round are the key words here. You should marry anybody
who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going
to be easy. This might be the year to think about aerobics.
Maybe not.

Possum
April 21 - May 21
When confronted with life's difficulties, possums have a marked
tendency to withdraw and develop a
don't-bother-me-about-it-attitude. Sometimes you become so
withdrawn, people actually think you're dead. This strategy is
probably not psychologically healthy, but seems to work for you.
One day, however, it won't work and you may find your problems
actually running you over. No room in you life for Moon Pies.

Crawfish
May 22 - June 21
Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you're
always hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the
beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, the bathtub
to the living room. You tend to be not particularly attractive
physically, but you have very good heads. Keep a distance
from Moon Pies.

Collards
June 22-July 23
Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in
the "melting pot" of life and share their essence with the
essence of those around them. Collards make good social workers,
psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal
life goes, if you are Collards, stay away from Moon Pies. It just
won't work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.

Catfish
July 24 - Aug 23
Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, although
one: Whiskers, may cause problems for loved ones. Your catfish
are never easy people to understand. You prefer the muddy
bottoms to the clear surface of life. Above all else, Catfish
should stay away from Moon Pies.

Grits
Aug 24 - Sept 23
Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to
huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to
travel, though so maybe you should think about joining a club.
Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese or gravy or
bacon or butter or eggs. If you can go somewhere where they have
all these things, that serves you well.

Boiled Peanuts
Sept 24 - Oct 23
You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man.
Unfortunately, those who know you best -- your friends and loved
ones-may find that your personality is much too salty, and their
criticism will probably affect you deeply because you are really
much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry
anybody you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed
life. On the road of life, you can be sure that people will
always pull over and stop for you. Except Moon Pies, they'll run
you over.

Butter Bean
October 24 - Nov 22
Always invite a Butter Bean because Butter Beans get along well
with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You've
grown on the vine of life and you feel at home no matter what the
setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you too,
shouldn't have anything to do with Moon Pies.

Armadillo
Nov 23 - Dec 21
You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are
actually quite gentle. A good evening for you? Old friends, a
fire, some roots, fruit, worms and insects. You are a throwback.
You're not concerned with today's fashions and trends. You're
not concerned with anything about today. You're really almost
prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You
probably want to marry another Armadillo, but Possum is another
somewhat kinky, mating possibility. Stay away from Moon Pies.
