Two cowboys were driving through central Texas and see a sign which says "Mexia--15 miles". One of them says to the other, "Hey, why don't we stop in MEX-ee-uh and get a drink?"

The other cowboy replies, "Hey, that's not how you say it. It's ma-HAY-uh," and they proceed to get into an argument about the proper pronunciation of Mexia. Finally they get to town and stop in at a little place to settle their argument. They agree they'll ask the cashier how to pronounce the name and whoever is wrong will buy lunch for the other.

They walk up to the counter and one of them says, "Excuse me, but could you settle an argument for us?"

"Sure," replies the cashier.

"We were wondering how to pronounce the name of this place, and we were wondering if you could pronounce it for us. But say it real slow so we can understand."

"OK," replies the cashier, eyeing the two quizzically. "It's DAI-RY QUEEEEN."

A group of chess enthusiasts had checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off.

A doctor made it his regular habit to stop off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home. The bartender knew of his habit, and would always have the drink waiting at precisely 5:03 p.m. One afternoon, as the end of the work day approached, the bartender was dismayed to find that he was out of hazelnut extract. Thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made with hickory nuts and set it on the bar. The doctor came in at his regular time, took one sip of the drink and exclaimed, "This isn't a hazelnut daiquiri!"
"No, I'm sorry," replied the bartender, "It's a hickory daiquiri, Doc."
