Hillbilly Nativity Scene :

An Outsider in a small Kentucky town around Christmas time, saw a
Nativity Scene that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it
but one small feature was all wrong: the three wise men were wearing
firemen's helmets.

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, he left. At
a Quik Stop on the edge of town, he asked the lady behind the counter about
the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling, "You darn Yankees never read your Bible!"

The Outsider assured her that he did, but simply couldn't recall
anything about firemen in the Bible. She jerked her Bible from behind the
counter and riffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a
passage :

Sticking it in the guys face she said, "See, it says right here,
'The three wise men came from afar."

But, your story presumes that a hillbilly in Kentucky knows how to read (usually a false presumption)
