Yet Another List.
I receive these “You Know You’re a(n) XYZ If…” lists in my mailbox with some regularity. I have specifically received a few “Redneck” lists, but I believe this is the first I’ve seen this one, and some of them struck me as pretty funny. So, being too lazy to write anything original, I thought I would pass this on.
Note: Some of my best Blog Buddies from the Jawja Blogtoberfest and the Wreckyl in Jekyll are from south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and I know that they all have senses of humor the size of Finland. If, however, you might be offended by a bit of “Redneck” humor, please skip this post.

You know you’re staying at a redneck motel when you call the front desk to tell them you’ve got a leak in the sink, and they tell you to go ahead.
A team redneck doctors have performed the world’s first penis transplant. The only proble is that the penis keeps rejecting the hand.
Another team of redneck doctors has made medical history by performing the world’s first appendix transplant.

You see a sign that says, “Say No to Crack” and it reminds you to pull up your pants.
You refer to the 8th grade as your Senior Year.

Oh, man, it’s been grouch, grouch, grouch on this blog lately. Time for some yuks. If you thought all the redneck jokes were worn out, you might get a kick out of these. I laughed, anyway….

You get into a knife fight in a bar over which dog food is best for coon hounds.
(true story happened back in Ky a few years ago)
I recall hearing Foxworthy once say
You might be a redneck if you have a relative named after a Southern General ,from the War of Nothern Aggression, I assume. 😉
My reaction was, “let’s see Grandpa Stonewall Jackson Puckett, Cousin Stonewall Jackson Bailey, Uncle and Cousin, Robert E Lee Bone and my kid Brother Joe Frasier Kauffman, does that leave ANY thing on me not red?

Regarding the one about the fireworks stand:
I was in Indiana a couple of days ago and drove by a fireworks store and noticed in the store window a sign that said “Rentals”. Unfortunately, the store was closed but I dearly wanted an explanation of “renting fireworks”. I thought “Damn, what a concept!” You sell/rent them the fireworks, then, of course, charge a deposit which will NEVER be returned because after all, how could you possibly return fireworks you have shot off that aren’t damaged. I need more information……..
