Good story, but why Kentucky?

Bubba is a nickname more common to the deep south from the Carolinas to Texas. I'm a Kentuckian. And while we deserve much of the country stereotypes out of the eastern Appalachian areas "(Scottish and Irish Lowlander heritage) like in "Deliverance", I wouldn't classify the state as southern culture. Kentucky is fairly diverse... Louisville is very similar to Omaha and Bowling Green is much like Memphis.

Here's some good Kentucky jokes:

The "tooth brush" must have been invented in Kentucky ...because anywhere else, it would have been called the "teeth brush".
What does the preacher say at the end of a Kentucky wedding? "You may now kiss yer sister"
What did the Kentucky daughter say to her father when she woke from her nap? "Get off of me Daddy, yer crushin my smokes!"
A Kentucky son joins his father in the fields. "Daddy, I'm marryin' the Johnson girl." The father gave his son a stern look and said, "I dunno boy. I hear tell she a virgin." The son says, "What's wrong with that?". The dad replies, "Hell, son! If she ain't good enough for her own kin, what makes you think she's any good for us?"
