This one will only be understood by people in and around the southern USA:
Man to clerk behind the counter: "I'd like to buy a moon pie and an RC cola."
Clerk: "You must be from Alabama."
Man: "Why, yes, I am. Did the accent give it away?"
Clerk: "No, sir, because this is a hardware store."
Another one...
Two men are traveling through Alabama and pass through the town of Arab. One man is pretty sure the town calls itself "Ay-rab" and the other thinks it calls itself "Air-ub". They make a wager on the proper pronunciation and pull into to a local fast food restaurant drive through to ask.
"Excuse me, miss," the man driving says to the friendly female voice coming from the speaker, "my friend and I have a little bet we need you to help us with. While driving through your town we were arguing over exactly how to say the name of this place, can you tell us the proper way to say it?"
After a moment of silence, the voice from the speaker says, very slowly and carefully: "Day-ree-queen."
