Small town jokes

Heard in a town meeting the other day:

Q: Know why you don't have to give turn signals in a small town?

A: Cause everyone already knows where you're going.

I'd hate to try to have an affair in a small town - people are starting to recognize both of our cars, and will say something like: 'Oh, I see you were down at the library yesterday." Keith (my brother) lives in a small town in Missouri, and likes to tell stories about how his kids could never get away with anything when they were growing up because someone would be sure to call him, and say, for example: 'I saw your son (underage) drinking a beer.'

One thing that simplifies life in a small town is that everyone has the same phone exchange, so when someone asks for your phone number, all you have to tell them is the last four digits.
