Too early to get married

Bubba was a Tennessee hillbilly who lived way out in the sticks.  One day Bubba decided that he wanted to marry his sweetheart.  So, while enjoying a hearty meal of raccoon and biscuits for dinner one evening, Bubba brought up the subject with his Ma and Pa.

“Bubba, you can’t get married yet,” insisted Ma.  “You’re too young for that!”

“But Ma,” Bubba protested, “I just had my 38th birthday last week.”

“We know that, Bubba,” Pa chimed in, “but your Ma and me think you should put off getting married until after you graduate from high school.”
