A little advise for non American people who go to New Orleans and want to pass off as real American ones. I found this way of saying on this URL: www.urbandictionary.com and I found it very funny. What does "Where y'at?" mean? It's a slang greeting in New Orleans. When you meet someone in the street they will say that. Then you reply with this key phrase: "What it is". If you respond wrong the initiator will know you are not local. Example: Person 1: Where y'at? Person 2: What it is. It's funny, isn't it?

Well I never slaughtered any natives and I didn't emigrate here so I guess that makes me an American because I'm certainly not anything else.

Two men were sitting at a bar recounting their dreams. "I dreamed I was on vacation," one man said fondly. "It was just me and my fishing rod and this big beautiful lake. What a dream." "I had a great dream too," said the other. "I dreamed I was in bed with two beautiful women and having the time of my life." His companion looked over and exhorted, "You dreamed you had two women, and you didn't call me?" "Oh, I did," said the other, "but when I called, your wife said you'd gone fishing "

:O.....Here is another one to keep goning on: Stupid Teacher Mother asked her little boy:"Darling, what did the teacher teach you taday?" "Nothing, Mum," answered the son proudly," She is so stupid that she even didn't know how much one plus two was, and I told her that was three."
