An ex-US Marine Virginian hillbilly came to town carrying a jug of moonshine
in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

He stopped a man on the street, saying to him "Here friend, take

a drink outta my jug."

The man protested, saying he never drank. The hillbilly levelled

his shotgun at the stranger and commanded "Drink!"

The stranger drank, shuddered, shook, shivered and coughed. "Gee!

that's awful stuff you've got there."

"Ain't it, though?" replied the hillbilly. "Now, you hold the gun

on me while I take a swig."
