New Translation for the Ten Commandments

Speaking of new translations...


People here in Arkansas have trouble with all those "shalls" and "shall nots" in the Ten Commandments. Folks here just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some folks in middle Arkansas got together and translated the "King James" into " Pulaski County " language:

The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments
(1) Just one God.
(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa.
(3) No tellin' tales or gossipin'.
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'.
(5) Put nothin' before God.
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal.
(7) No killin.'
(8) Watch yer mouth.
(9) Don't take what ain't yers.
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff.


Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think? Y'all have a good day
