Just my sense of humor, Don.
Hillbillies were originally Irish hill farmers from Michigan. From the area known as the Irish Hills, and a resort rather than farming area for the past 100 years or so. Hence the comeback to the hillbilly comments.
Obscure knowledge makes a kind for of joke I find very amusing, one where someone pretty much has to be in the know to get it. Of course you have to feel that there are some in the audience who will get it, or it pretty much flops.
In fact all my posts in this tread except the one about finding your IRS joke funny have been intended humorously, however I long ago found that I need to put in a lot of (GRINS) for most folks to recognize I meant it humorously, but since the thread has become one about humor in general I figured I could omit them. Maybe not.

So why are you insulting Michigan hill farmers now? You have something against the Irish maybe?
