Billy Bob moved to Chicago from Tennessee.
One night in late November, the weatherman announced there would be 5 to 7 inches of snow overnight and local residents must park their cars on the odd-numbered side of the street.
Billy Bob said, "Geewhiz, snow," and dutifully moved his car.
A few nights later the news report said there would be 8 to 10 inches of snow and cars should be parked on the even-numbered side of the street. "Geewhiz, more snow," Billy Bob said and moved his car.
A week and a half later Billy Bob and Mama were watching the 10 O'clock news and the reporter said there would be "18 inches of snow by morning and you should park your car....." at which point the power went off.
Billy Bob didn't know where to put the car, so he asked Mama what she thought.
After a short hesitation and a long gulp of beer she said, "Shucks, Billy Bob...why not just take a chance and leave it in the garage this time."
