Redneck Etiquette - DRIVING ETIQUETTE

    • Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded and the deer is in sight.
    • When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way.
    • Never tow another car using pantyhose and duct tape.
    • When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer.
    • Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving.
    • Do not remove the seats from the car so that all your kids can fit in.
    • Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

PERSONAL HYGIENE

redBallwithStar.gif
Unlike clothes and shoes, a toothbrush should never be a hand-me-down item.
redBallwithStar.gif
If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
redBallwithStar.gif
While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys.
redBallwithStar.gif
Plucking unwanted nose hair is time-consuming work. A cigarette lighter and a small tolerance for pain can accomplish the same goal and save hours.
Note: Its a good idea to keep a bucket of water handy when using this method.
DINING OUT

  • Remember to leave a generous tip for good service. After all, their mobile home costs just as much as yours.

    Redneck Etiquette - ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
  • A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.
  • Do not allow the dog to eat at the table . . . no matter how good his manners are.
  • If your dog falls in love with a guest's leg, have the decency to leave them alone for a few minutes.
DATING (Outside the Family)


redBallwithStar.gif
Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
redBallwithStar.gif
Be aggressive. Let her know you are interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the men's bathroom wall two years a go."
redBallwithStar.gif
If a girl's name does not appear regularly on a bathroom wall, water tower, or an overpass, odds are good that the date will end in frustration.

THEATER ETIQUETTE

    • Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after the movie has ended.
    • Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.
WEDDINGS


    • Livestock is usually a poor choice for a wedding gift.
    • Its is not okay for the groom to bring a date to a wedding.
    • When dancing, never remove undergarments, no matter how hot it is.
    • A bridal veil made of window screen is not only cost effective but also aproven fly deterrent.
    • For the groom, at least rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create a natty appearance. Though uncomfortable, say yes to socks and shoes for this special occasion.
TIPS FOR ALL OCCASIONS


    • Never take a beer to a job interview or ask if they press charges.
    • Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
    • Always say "Excuse me" after getting sick in someone else's car.
    • It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
    • Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it's considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home.
    • The socially refined never fish coins out of public toilets, especially if other people are around.
    • Always provide an alibi to the police for family members.
 
Let's not forget the word "Youtes". It means you-all, or your, and is used almost exclusively within 30 miles of the southern end of the blue ridge parkway.
