The Lazy Dawg

New Yorker Cameron was visiting friends in Georgia. One day while out walking he came upon an old cracker dog, sitting in front of a cabin howling his head off. Cameron asked the animal's owner why he was howling.
"He's lazy," said the native.
"But," said Cameron, "is laziness painful?"
"Nope," said the Southerner.
"Then why does the dog howl?"
"Wal," said the Georgian, "that blame fool dawg is settin' on a sandburr, an' he's too tarnation lazy to git off. So he jes' sets there an' howls 'cause it hurts."
