Nothing wrong with hard work!


Have you ever seen the American comedian Jeff Foxworthy, he does
"redneck" humor. Nowadays redneck infers that that person is backwards
and ignorant. Not always true though. HTH

Thanks George. I haven't heard of Foxworthy, but now I understand

I lost my redneck status in the early seventies when I finally went to
college. After graduation I just became ordinary oil field trash. Go

OB: preserving: Rednecks do tend to raise large broods of children and
hence, raise large gardens and put up the food.
