Tips From the Redneck Book of Manners OT

1. Never take a beer to a job interview.

2.Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.

3. It's considered poor taste to take a cooler to church.

4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets.

5. Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home.

Dining Out

1. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label.

2. Avoid throwing bones and food scraps on the floor as the restaurant may not have dogs.

Entertaining In Your Home

1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.

2. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table no matter how good his manners are.

Personal Hygiene

1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys

2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money.

3. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods.

Dating (outside the family)

1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.

2. Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: 'I've been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago.'

3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; others might say 'Monday.' If the latter is the answer, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.

Weddings

1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.

2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.

3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create too sporty an appearance.

4. Though uncomfortable, say 'yes' to socks and shoes for this special occasion.

5. It is not appropriate to tell the groom how good his wife is in the sack.

Driving Etiquette

1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight.

2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way.

3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.

4. When sending your wife/girlfriend down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer.

5. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving.

6. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

Two Reasons why it is hard to solve a Redneck Murder:

1. All the DNA is the same.

2. There are no dental records
 
Hi downsouth: Not all these things happen downsouth.. Your #2: Do not allow the dog to eat at the table no matter how good his manners are.)
About 40 years ago I went up to a deer hunting camp in Northern Minnesota that father and uncles were using. The land owners wife cooked a big evening meal for all. As most finished eating, the owners big dog jumped up and started eating off one big plate of food. The owner hollered at the wife to be quicker in clearing the table to prevent the dog from eating so much... He did not say I word to the dog. It was the wifes fault.. I knew I was way back in the sticks right there.. So a few things listed happened "upNorth" also. Thanks for the list. I'll watch for more "up here." ag
 
Funny!

We did take a cooler to church once...

but thinking we did not qualify for a redneck award. It had popsicles in it for our church's parade unit in the town's yearly celebration parade later that day.
 
At a good friend of mine's funeral who was an avid drag racer one of his request was read at the grave was for everyone to burn rubber when leaving the cemetery.

Number 2 under Personal Hygiene hurt!
 
Wife wants to take our Pomeranian into a restaurant, claiming its a "service animal". If questioned, she'll say its a dual function animal- picks up stuff that we drop (not going to mention dog just eats it), and also prevents siezures. Its true, since we've had Chloe, Mrs. has never had a siezure. Of course, she never had one BEFORE Chloe, either, but that's probably better left unsaid.
 
The first date with my Wife was a fishing trip, 35 years later I still bait her hook for her.
 
I don't bait the wife's hook, in fact, a few years ago we tried using salamanders to catch those big walleye and I put my gloves on to hook it up. She just grabs ahold of it and hooks it up for me. I do have to get her out of a lot of snags though. Problem now is her health is such that fishing has taken a back seat, haven't had the boat in the lake for two years now. Hard to get her in and out and I am always afraid she will get one of her severe pain situations out on the water. Some times working is easier than recreation.
 
OK James, give it up. What exactly did you do? I'm picturing a spray of a favorite cologne in a rather personal and tender area. Am I close???
 
Two of the best cows we have are the heifers my in laws gave us as wedding gifts.

Livestock ALWAYS makes a good gift. Doesn't matter if it's delivered in a trailer or freezer paper.

Live alone from Sunday night until Friday night.

Get all my bathing and deodorizing done between Friday and Sunday just like folks did 100 years ago.
 
My wife of 46 years' first date with me ended on by taking her on emergency service call. She must have recognized good service, huh??? Dave
