Friend of ours, who is 58, just became a great-grandfather. His 18-year-old granddaughter is pregnant and living with her 28-year-old aunt. He’s on his 3rd marriage, lives in the Great North Woods and his family has been there for generations. Mostly Scots-Irish, migrated there to do logging.
... that’s a shame....

When you work the fields or construction, you get sunburned/tanned on the back of your neck.
We also call it a farmer’s tan. Take off the shirt and everything else is the color of milk.
One of the things that continually happens in the ‘comedy entertainment’ world is this open ridicule of another regional lifestyle/culture. It’s perfectly okay to stand up in, say NYC, and blast it out to the supposedly-sophisticated urban audience. It’s de rigueur. It’s funny, right? Try the same jokes about New Yorkers while standing up on stage in NYC. Try making similar jokes about the ghetto/barrio.......
To me, it’s one thing to laugh at yourselves as a culture; it’s another thing to be laughed at and stereotyped by peoples who don’t realize they live in glass houses of their own.
I also have a tape of a wife's 911 call about her county commissioner husband hitting her. And I know of an incident when one of his colleagues popped his wife and the cops were called. Although known to and unreported by the local news media, the incidents led to those officials deciding not to run again.
I also know of an incident when a GOP state governor got drunk and woke up an apartment complex demanding that a particularly attractive appointee of his open the door and let him in for sex. And a time when a married circuit judge was caught en flagrante in his van with a court reporter.
The bottom line: even if the examples are restricted to unreported episodes I know about involving public officials, redneck behavior is fairly common.
We sort of qualify for 13 because we have an extra fridge outside on the patio.
As for #14, if your kid was born on a pool table, you get extra admiration if that same kid was conceived on that SAME pool table!
add to that that we all probably experienced one or two on that list..
We’re not rednecks and we loved him.
How odd I see the same people in east Los Angeles the others are gang members.
Swing and a miss. While we are at it can you keep all the liberal fags from moving down south?
Rednecks are not stupid. Nothing on this list is close to reality. You need better friends that don’t spam your inbox. You need better manners than to post your spam on here.
Redneck jokes never get old. Not to long ago, we all laughed at posts like this!
