Don Wood Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Did you hear about the Texas Aggie who won a gold medal at the Olympics? He was so excited, he went out and had it bronzed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Don, Please tell this ignorant woman what an "Aggie" is! I am probably just being slow as usual and I expect the "light" will go on as soon as I submit this . Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Aggies are people associated with Texas A&M for those of us down here. They are not so bright, in general, as witnessed by the fact that they find gig 'em to be inspiring. I saw a car with a bumper sticker on it that said, "Honk if I am an Aggie."

Don Wood Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 As Curtis says, those students and alums of Texas A&M are called "Aggies" because the school was originally an Agriculture and Mining school. Aggies have the reputation (promoted mostly by U. of Texas folks) of being dumb and doing dumb things. Hence, the Aggie jokes. My two sons are Aggies (one in Business and one in Engineering) and my daughter went there for Veterinary school. I can vouch that none of the three is dumb. But the jokes are fun. Aggies usually tell the best Aggie jokes on themselves. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
