Hard to believe there was a time not too long ago, you could go to the hardware store, and in rural NC, a grocery store and buy dynamite, by the stick or by the crate.
My grandad now 87 still talks about his daddy building ditches 200 yards long with dynamite! My whole family is from Nanatahala, NC and my great grandad was a powder monkey on most of the roads that were built in the 20s to 40s in Western nc
Jerry was the guest speaker at an Exxon safety dinner my husband and I attended back in 1980. We laughed so hard we had sore ribs the next day! I will never forget that night!
This message is in honor of Mr Clower and my DAD, he loved Jerry, I still have all of my Dad's albums, yes, vinyl was popular, Mr Clower is the best even in his state of resting until our glorious Lord Jesus comes back
@@elrodgene921 I always sensed a lack of sincerity/genuineness in George’s singing to be honest I don’t know why, it’s just an intuitive knowing. He is my favorite country singer ever or singer regardless of genre all time though still.
Jerry was a true American comidian. I wish he was still with us today. there are so many that are my favorites. I tell them as opening at meetings and people are falling on the floor. I can't believe they have never heard of this great comic....
Jimmie Durrant This is my favorite all time joke by Mr. Clowers. I laugh like crazy every time I hear this joke. I agree with you, the clean and family friendly jokes makes it funnier than the foul mouthers. He is truly missed.
Jerry Clower was a great American and an exemplary man. He'd be heartbroken to see what America has devolved into. Let's hope we can return to a semblance of sanity in the coming years and reclaim the country Mr. Clower loved the so much.
first heard this from a cassette back in 2000 on a fishing trip with pa (RIP) and his buddy (RIP him too). heard the cassette in the buddy's RV on the way down there, then a few days later i got home and downloaded this joke off of Napster on my garbage rural dial-up internet. GOD BLESS
I like the vulger, dark, raunchy humor but Jerry makes me laugh more than any of them because it's easy to be funny when you have no limits. It takes talent to be funny when you limit yourself to being clean
A definite amen from this ol country boy. This is the funniest material still around, and not once do you hear that nasty foul mouthed stuff. I grew up with Mr. Clower. One of the funniest comedians ever.
The closest Jerry ever got to "blue" humor was "A New Bull" and "Steel Marbles," but there still isn't a curse word to be found in either, just a wink and a nod.
he was a God fearing Christian man. Me and my buddies used to listen to him back when we were in school and do our best to imitate him. He was a good man that loved the Lord.
In every war-torn place in the world where there's hand grenades, poor, hungry people, & a river, there's somebody fishing that way, as many a serviceman can attest. It's a decent way to dispose of that stuff fairly safely, & feed everyone in the process. A "sporting chance" is for we lucky ones that can get skunked, & still go home to food in the pantry. Folks that are scrabbling for their next meal will bend those rules into a corkscrew if it will fill their bellies, & if I was in their shoes, I'd be volunteering to pitch.:)
For me , it was fun while it lasted , honest . I always try to do my best . At everything I do. It says work as if your Working for God , and I would love to hear God tell me God well done . I believe and have believed I would . I hope I never give up on big dreams, ,or little ones . I hope that I proved that God can make you somebody. Jesus Christ is my Savior. Forever and always Biscuit loves Brooke spring 2022
I remember listening to Jerry Clower as a kid riding with my Paw Paw ( Grandpa ) to Church on Sunday. The Good ole days…
Lol, I miss this generation so much. Jerry Clower was a WW2 Veteran. Have a great day everyone!
I inherited my dad's Jerry Clower albums. Just loved to hear Jerry tell his funny stories!
Jerry Clower was a man ahead of his time

Wonderful story one of my favorites first class storyteller and Christian gentleman
This is one of my favorite stories.I actually know people that live that way years ago
first heard this from a cassette back in 2000 on a fishing trip with pa (RIP) and his buddy (RIP him too). heard the cassette in the buddy's RV on the way down there, then a few days later i got home and downloaded this joke off of Napster on my garbage rural dial-up internet. GOD BLESS
I listened to this as a child. Funniest thing ever. 😂
One of my favorites. God bless him
My Grandpa Claude (proud WW2 vet) could sure catch a boat load of fish.
RIP Grandpa.
Ohhhhhh my soul he was a great man one to be missed for all time
Just shared this story, the Fire and the Last Piece of Chicken with my son’s fiancée. Keeping the laughter going! 🤓
It's nice when you can hear good clean comedy without all the vulgar language.
I agree 100%.
And make you laugh more than the vulgar stuff

The best kind is clean
The best clean and funny comedy
BACK WHEN 4 LETTER WORDS WERE NOT NEEDED TO BE A GOOD COMEDIAN
Im glad somebody else believes this too it gets so old hearin all those nasty vulgar so called comedians

I know that this shouldn't hold up after so long, but it does. I
I love it plus I'm 99% sure he's totally clean with his language
he was a God fearing Christian man. Me and my buddies used to listen to him back when we were in school and do our best to imitate him. He was a good man that loved the Lord.
and clean language is a rare but appreciated
One of my favorite quotes from Jerry Clower was "Profanity is the stupid man's way of being emphatic."
Seen him live at va state fair around 87-89. The best ever
He is a good comedian. 😂
The one and only………👏
Very Good!... #78 ✝ {9-14-2023}
Love this story
Fantastic
In WWII my Dad's unit fished with hand grenades. It works.

That's the way it's done
Hope to Jerry soon. EPH 2:8-9

I won’t argue with dynamite !!
He was the best and he didn’t have to use vulgar language to be funny they don’t make them like him anymore
That's talent! If you don't have talent you will be nasty to try and be funny.
