I wrote a friend tonight, and said that I don't care where I live--as long as it isn't below the Mason-Dixon line (the invisable line around Maryland, that seperates the Yankees from the Southerners)....or Milton Keynes...or Fargo, North Dakota...or New Jersey...or Minnesota.

I can't see me living in the Deep South, even tho' I can do a passable southern accent and the laid back attitude. I even know some of the slang: "Doo Waat?" (translation: what do you mean?)

Mind you, we very much do have rednecks in New York state--even genuine in-bred mountain hillbillys, no lie, swear to heaven the honest truth...I had one for a neighbour...and yes, sorry, but some of these folks really are in-bred and don't see a problem with it. Some of them really do wear denim overalls and sport long beards, they are quite real, and very much are not cliche or a myth.

Anyway, here's some redneck jokes I thought I'd share with you:

I was traveling through south Georgia yesterday and noticed a lot of signs saying “pecans ahead.” Wouldn’t “restrooms ahead” be more appropriate?

What’s the difference between a good ol’ boy and a redneck?
The good ol’ boy raises livestock. The redneck gets emotionally involved.

What do a divorce in Alabama, a tornado in Kansas and a hurricane in Florida have in common?
Somebody is fixin’ to lose them a house trailer.

Why did O.J. Simpson want to move to Kentucky?
Everyone there has the same DNA.

A new law was recently passed in Georgia. When a couple gets a divorce they’re still brother and sister.

Best bar pick-up line in Lousiana: “Hey, you don’t sweat much for a fat broad.”

What is a Redneck’s defense in court?
“Honest your Honor, I was just helping the sheep over the fence.”

How many rednecks does it take eat a ‘possum?
Two. One to eat, and one to watch for cars.
