He asked a local 'why redneck' and they gave the sun burned neck from working in the fields version, and also said it was a sign of pride that you worked for your living - I guess it's indicative of our changing attitudes towards good ol' fashioned hard work that make rednecks the butt of jokes - in Britain, it's an insult to call someone a 'peasant' but here in rural France, 'la vie paysanne' is still a respected way of life. :D Sorry Joyce - you posted this to make us laugh, NOT inspire a debate! And it was funny - so thank you for posting and sorry! :lol: :oops: |
ok, between me and hubby: one of us fits #'s 1,4,23, + 30...
and the she-daisy song about all the numbered personalities? hubby says I 'are' #23! I tell him: and don't YOU forget it! :twisted: :lol: |
Those folks look like what I see at Walmart everyday. Yes I do have redneck tupperware. Just hate to throw away a good container. I have a whole set of the bowls that Jack in the Box puts there Chicken Teriakie in.
I put leftovers in them & freeze for hubby a hot lunch when he is home. Save a lot of them to put stinky stuff in like chopped onions for next week & can then throw them away. Guess I'm just frugal. I'm my daddy's child, just a pack rat but anythime I throw something away I need next week. Know what I made out of butter lids-hinges for the ice chest, till the new ones got here from manufacter. Yell I'm a redneck country girl. |

Always heard basements could be scary. You should go down in the storm cellor that isn't concrete. Now that is scary.

Can't have a basement in Florida. Too close to sea level. Would get flooded.

LOL about the basement comment. Some of my VA relatives built a house with a basement. The first basement in the family. But get this..... they didn't make a door to it for inside the house!!! You have to go outside and walk down around the corner of the house to get in the basement.
My entire life is a Jeff Foxworthy joke. I have to watch my enunciation when my fancy in-laws are around. They think I talk funny! I can't help it!! I was raised in Illinois by a Virginia hillbilly and a West Viriginia truck driver. That being said, my fancy in-laws once tried to order baked beans in southwest Virginia and couldn't make the waitress understand their funny accent. I laughed until I cried! |
DH's aunt by marriage use to work in resturant & she is so country she would ask the customers if they wanted baked tater or french fries. Dh has run on quite a few of these lately. One lady asked him if he wanted the plate lunch-you get hamburger steak, gravy & baked tater or cream taters. He almost spit his tea trying to hold his the laughter. Oh, & thats sweet tea.
