A ventriloquist is working in a small rural town and during his show a local stands up and yells, "HEY YOU! ON STAGE! You been making smart-aleck remarks about us small-town folk being stupid all night long! We're not all stupid, ya know!"©JOKEDEMO.COM

"Relax" said the ventriloquist, "They're just jokes!"©JOKEDEMO.COM

"I'm not talking to you, sir!"©JOKEDEMO.COM

The rube replied, "I'm talking to that little fella sitting on your knee!"
