Down By The Ohio (Ohio, Omyo)
Verse 1
Girlies, slim and tall, Girlies, plump and small,
Very wild ones, Rather mild ones I've had them all;
From now on with woman I'm done, All excepting one.
Chorus 1
Down by the Ohio, I've got the sweetest little O, My! O!
I'm going right back there to meet her, and then O,
picture me when I put my arms around her and kiss her again;
Down by the Ohio,
She's just a simple little country girl, I know,
Now country girls are not supposed to be wise,
But when you get to know them, you'd be surprised!
They've got that O, My! O! Just wait till I get back to Ohio!
Chorus 2
Down by the Ohio, I've got the sweetest little O, My! O!
She doesn't dress as up-to-date as she might Her clothes are a sight
But when she's in the moonlight I'll say she's all right;
How she can O, My! O!,
She's just a simple little country girl, I know,
Your city chickens all have plenty of charm,
But I like chicken when it's fresh from the farm
With lots of O, My! O! Just wait till I get back to Ohio!
Verse 2
She's just right for me, Suits me to a "T";
Great on cooking, Not bad looking, You would agree;
Since I met her life is so sweet! Folks, I must repeat:
Repeat choruses
Ohio Winter Poem
It's winter in Ohio
And the gentle breezes blow!
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love Ohio
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Ohio
'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!!
Buckeyes VS Wolverines:
In the Ohio State Buckeyes locker room in Columbus, there's a sign
stating - "Play like champions today!"
There's also one in the Michigan Wolverines locker room that says: "Don't
forget your HELMET!"
Buckeye Archeological Dig:
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York
archaeologists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came
to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network
more than 100 years ago.
One week later and not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, two California
archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 feet and found old copper wire, and
shortly after, the LA Times reported "California archaeologists have found
traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors
already had an advanced high-tech communications network, one hundred
years earlier than the New Yorkers."
One week later, 'The Lima News', a local newspaper in Ohio, reported the
following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near
Cridersville, Ohio; Auglaize County, Jim Bob Davison, a self-taught
archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing."
Thus, Jim Bob and The Lima News concluded that 300 years ago, Ohio had
already gone wireless.
Who was it that said Buckeyes weren't the brightest??????
Ohio Girls
Three men were sitting together, bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.
The first man had married a woman from Indiana and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do
all the dishes and house cleaning that needed done at their house. He said
that it took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean
house, and the dishes were all washed and put away.
The second man had married a woman from Pennsylvania. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she
was to do all the cleaning, the dishes, and the cooking. He told them that
the first day he didn't see any results, but the next day it was better.
By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a
huge dinner on the table.
The third had married an Ohio girl. He said that he told her that her
duties were to keep the house clean, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry
washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day
he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the
third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out
of his left eye, just enough to fix himself a bite to eat, load the
dishwasher, and telephone a landscaper.
Gotta love those Buckeye gals!!!
The Rules of Rural Ohio:
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked.
3. Let's get this straight; it's called a "dirt road." I drive a pickup
truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get
dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle. They're live steaks. That's why they smell funny to
you. But they smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-70
goes east and west, I-71 goes north and south. Pick one.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $150,000 corn
pickers and hay balers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. So every person in rural Ohio waves. It's called being friendly. Try to
understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while an 8-point buck and 3 does are coming
in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it
up to your ear at the time.
8. Yeah, we eat taters & gravy, beans & cornbread. You really want sushi &
caviar? It's available at Jim's bait shop.
9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious
holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of
age.
11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you
can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,
vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.
Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff
you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!
13. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and served
over ice.
14. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to
shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
15. College and High School Football is as important here as the Cavs and
the Knicks, and more fun to watch.
16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it
spooks the fish.
17. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities ,
Community Colleges, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education
plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when
they come for the holidays.
18. We have a whole ton of folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and
Marines. So don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the
best.
19. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't
music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your
boxers. Refer back to #1.
20. 4 inches isn't a blizzard - it's a flurry. Drive like you got some
sense in it, and DON'T take all our bread, milk, and bleach from the
grocery stores. This ain't Alaska , worst case you may have to live a
whole day without croissants. The pickups with snow blades will have you
out the next day.
Oh, how I love Ohio!
It's winter again in Ohio
and the gentle breezes blow
seventy miles an hour
at only twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love Ohio
when the snow's up to your butt.
You take a deep breath of winter
and your nose hole freezes shut.
Yes, winter weather is here again
and I guess I'll hang around.
I could never leave good ole' Ohio
Cause I'm frozen to the ground!
Why God Made Ohio
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Michael, look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth, "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot.
Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people," God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large land mass and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That's OHIO, the most glorious place on earth. There are
beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets and rolling hills. The people from OHIO
are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be
found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hard
working and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance!"
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I'm putting around them in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. "

Only in Ohio, Pike County
A group of Pike county friends went deer
hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters
returned alone, staggering under the weight of a 250 pound ten point buck.
"Where's Henry?" the others asked.
"Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up he trail," the successful hunter replied.
"You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired of him.
"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!"
***********************
Regarding the year 2000, a Waverly resident was overheard saying, "If the
end of the world comes, I hope to be in Pike county. Everything happens
here 20 years later than the rest of the civilized world!"
***********************
The young Pike county farm boy came running into the store and said to his
buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"
Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was?"
The young farmer answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."
Tired of all this rain?
A curious fellow died one day and found himself waiting in the long line of judgment. As he stood there, he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the pearly gates into Heaven. Others though, were led over to Satan who threw them into the burning pit. But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the fire, Satan would toss a soul off to one side into a small pile.
After watching Satan do this several times, the fellow's curiosity got the best of him. So he strolled over and asked Satan what he was doing. "Excuse me, Mr. Prince of Darkness," he said. "I'm waiting in line for judgment, but I couldn't help wondering... why are you tossing those people aside instead of flinging them into the Fires of Hell with the others?"
"Ah, those...," Satan said with a groan. "They're all from OHIO, they're still too cold and wet to burn."

OSU vs Michigan
On a tour of Florida, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach when there
was a frantic commotion just off shore.
A helpless man, wearing a Michigan jersey, was struggling frantically to
free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark.
As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men
wearing Ohio State jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the
shark's side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding,
semi-conscious Wolverine fan from the water.
Then using (autographed by Woody himself) baseball bats, the three heroes
in OSU Red beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach.
"I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard
that there was some bitter hatred between Buckeye and Michigan fans, but
now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not the truth."
As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies "Who was that?"
"It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has
access to all of God's wisdom."
"Well," the harpooner said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he
doesn't know beans about shark fishing.... how's the bait holding up?"
OSU vs Michigan
Once upon a time, long, long ago there was a season when neither
Ohio State nor Michigan made a post season bowl game. It seemed so unusual,
that the coaches of both teams got together and decided that there
should be some sort of competition between the two teams, because of
their great rivalry.
So, they decided on a week-long ice-fishing competition. The team that
caught the most fish at the end of the week would win. So, on a cold
northern Michigan Lake (gave them the benefit of the doubt, or they
would whine about home field advantage) they began their contest. The
first day, after 8 hours of fishing, Ohio State had caught 100 fish
and Michigan had 0.
At the end of the 2nd day Ohio State had caught 200 fish and Michigan 0.
That evening the Michigan coach got his team together and said, "I suspect
some kind of cheating is taking place," so the next morning he
dressed one of his players in Scarlet and Gray and sent him over to the
camp to act as a spy. At the end of the day he came back to report to
the coach.
The coach asked "Well, how about it, are they cheating?"
"They sure are," the player reported, "They're cutting holes in the ice."
University of Michigan plates
A recent graduate of the Ohio State University moved to
Dearborn, Michigan when she landed a great job with a company located there. After becoming a
citizen of Michigan, she felt almost as if she had betrayed her Ohio
background and ancestry. She had an apartment with a Michigan address, and
she winced whenever she looked at her Michigan driver's license.
When it came time to register her vehicle she had an idea.
She'd get personalized plates and make things right.
The personalized license plate for her car arrived, and she beamed as she
installed them. She was so proud she sent an instant message to her father
right away. He too was a proud Ohio State alumnus.
"Daddy," she typed. "I'm so excited! I got new, personalized plates for my
Mini today. They're University of Michigan plates!"
"WHAT?" he replied. "You have to be joking!"
"Nope, I'm totally serious. Let me send you the image!"
When it's Winter in Ohio
And the gentle breezes blow.
About seventy miles an hour
And it's fifty-two below.

'Cause the snow's up to your butt,
And you take a breath of Winter air
And your nose holes both freeze shut.
The weather here is wonderful,
So I guess I'll hang around,
I could NEVER leave Ohio--
My feet are frozen to the ground!
