Joke of the week that starts out good, but the punchline falls flat, then you realize that the joke is pretty funny regardless...

Three hillbillies are sitting on the porch. The first hillbilly says, “My wife is so dumb, yesterday she bought a brand new stove, and we ain’t even got electricity!” The second hillbilly says, “My wife is stupider than yers. Yesterday she brings home a new washin’ machine, and we ain’t even got runnin' water!” The third hillbilly says, “My wife is even stupider!” They all agreed, having recently met the third hillbilly’s wife.
