Looks like it doesn't take much to humor the trailer park trash in your locale. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give your joke a 0.

One time I heard a guy tell me a joke about Alabama - A guy walks into a store and asks for a Coke and a slice of butter pecan pie. The store owner says: " You're from Alabama, aren't you?" The guy is angry and tells the store owner: "Why do you say that?" Is it my accent? is it the way I dress? You wouldn't dare to say that to almost any customer. Why do you say it to me?". The owner replies :"Because this is a hardware store".

I can go to a gas station in Georgia and buy fried chicken.

What makes you think you can't get a coke and a slice of pecan pie in a Alabama hardware store.

(don't ever ask for butter pecan pie-that's only in ice cream)

Even as I posted that joke I had a suspicion that it was outdated. ( I first heard it years ago on a Southern TV show) Actually, getting fried chicken at a gas station doesn't surprise me so much. Driving across the Texas Panhandle some years ago, I asked to use a men's room and was directed to the back - where I found guys shooting at bottles with everything from a real old Peacemaker (Colt did make them down to what, 1940?)to various handguns you want to name (all calibers at least 357 Mag) and swigging moonshine. I spent a few very enjoyable hours (after first convincing them not to shoot this damyankee and, yes, the moonshine was really good. Totally colorless but it was good and smooth and I'm really a pussy about "smoky" liquor)-and my wife had to drive the rest of the afternoon! - so don't tell me what I might find in a gas station!
