To all y'all--

You really must get to know Jeff Foxworthy, stand-up comic and author of YOU
KNOW YOU"RE A REDNECK WHEN.....

Some examples...

"If  someone asks you for your ID and you show them your belt buckle, you
might be a redneck."

"If you've ever had to haul a can of paint to the top of the water tower to
defend your sister's honor, you might be a redneck."

"If you've ever gone to a family reunion to pick up women, you might be a
redneck."

"If every day someone stops at your house thinkin' you're having a yard
sale, you might be a redneck."

"If you mow your lawn and you find a car....."

You get the picture, y'all.
