Girl wants to marry her cousin

Dear Miss Maude,
Me and My cousin John Roy is in love. I want to
get married right away, but John Roy wants to wait
till I graduate the sixth grade. But we gotta elope
cause if we don't my daddy'll give us a shotgun
wedding and a double funeral the same day.
My two questions is this. 1 If we gets married in
Mississippi and move to Alabama and gets a
divorce will we still be cousins?
and   2 If we gets a divorce in Alabama
who gets the double-wide?
Ansie in Mississippi

Dear Ansie,
Let me answer yer second question first.
Probably the lawyers.
Now as to yer first question, what in tarnation is
you talkin' about gettin' married?
If y'all gets married and has a bunch of youngins,
when they get growed up they're gonna probably
all be goofy lookin'.
Anyway, what in the name of Jesus is you two talkin'
about marriage and divorce in the same breath?
Heavens sakes, child, if you's gonna get married
y'all both oughta be thinkin about ferever,
not jus till you gets yer double wide down to Alabama.
Think about it.
Miss Maude
What's got in to these dern fool kids today anyway?
They think they's all growed up before the gets their first pimple.
