OMG too funny
Hahaha! I had pictured Jed Clampett doing a jig! Be thankful it wasn't a squirrel! Might have been a different outcome!
And to think a second on that one..LOL

Jed and a jig?

Not only was Buddy Ebsen a dancer, but he was originally cast as the Tin Woodsman in 'Wizard of Oz. He had to drop out because he was allergic to the silver make-up.

Another good feature of bib overalls is some of the pockets are just the right size for your nose hair trimmer

Raykos,

Thanks for starting that post.
I haven't laughed like that in a long time.

There are some real good comedians on here.
You guys made my day.

To complement the mouse in the bibs comment I have a story on my Granddad. Most of his life he drove trucks in the oilfields and delivered pipe and equipment. One time, early in the morning, he's driving along and and all of a sudden he feels something run up his pants leg (actually bib overalls). This "critter" makes it about midway up his thigh before he has a chance to stop it before it reaches "where no mouse has trodden before" and he grabs the little "wad" and manages it shut the truck down without taking-out half the county! He reaches into his pocket without turning loose of the "wad" and gets out his pocket knife. He manages to open the knife and cuts around what he had gathered up in one hand leaving a rather large hole in his overalls leg. He tossed the "denim covered rodent" out the truck window after massaging him a little with those huge hands of his! I remember hearing him tell this story as a yougster and have never forgot it. Occasionally I'll have to drive a truck and think of that story from time to time.

That was in the time when most wives had a sewing machine or thread and needle and patched holes in clothing. I bet Grandma had to cut a big patch in mend those "greasers"! (Her term for work clothes)
