The Redneck Book of Manners
Never take a beer to a job interview.
Always identify people in your yard before
shooting at them.
It's considered poor taste to take a cooler to
church.
If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to
change the sheets.
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.
RedNeck
prides himself on his compassionate persona. Trev is also a zealous
rock climber, notwithstanding losing a close climbing mate,
DeadFred,
who slipped to his death on a climb with Trev. As
they started their descent DeadFred slipped, splat and
was killed instantly.
As
the ambulance took Trev's former mate's body away, Trev's other climbing
mate, ConcernedMate, said,
Well, damn, someone should go and
tell his wife.
Trev
blurted up,
OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll take care of it.
Two hours later, Trev returned
carrying a case of Tooheys Old.
ConcernedMate says,
Hardly appropriate getting into the
slops, just after losing
DeadFred. Hey, you couldn't afford a feed
this morning.
Where did
you get the beer, Trev?
Trev replies.
DeadFred
's wife gave it to me.
ConcernedMate says,
That's unbelievable, you told the lady that her
husband was just splattered on the concrete and she gave you a case of beer?
Trev responded,
Well,
not exactly, when she answered the door,
I said to her, "You must be DeadFred''s
widow".
She said,
You must be mistaken, I'm not a widow.
Then
I said,
I'll bet you a case of beer
that you are.
To avoid Trev initiating
defamation proceedings against Scribe, it is important to establish what
type of RedNeck Trev might be:
(i)
From
the boondocks with little intelligence, usually ugly, made fun of constantly as
an uneducated buffoon; too stupid to know he is stupid.
Not Tornado
(ii)
The
red neck is from standing around in the sun all day, too dumb to find some
shade. Not Tornado
(iii)
Usually
seen in a beat-up pick-up truck with a rifle in the back window.
Not Tornado
(iv)
Member
of the white rural laboring class, especially amongst the Tasmania
provincial conservatives, often bigoted attitude. Not Tornado
(v)
Lives in the
woodlands of low
socio-economic status, minimal intelligence and drives a pick-up truck and may
be married to a close relative. Not Tornado
(vi)
Doesn’t
work a 9 to 5 job, nor needs to check his e-mails thrice daily and relies on a push bike as primary 'modus operandi'
for getting from ‘a’ to ‘b’, where ‘a’ and ‘b’ are -
Word has it that Trev has built himself a bicycle sulky,
whereupon a picture can go at top Left below:
Tornado resplendent on his
trusty treadley, towing his new sulky. |
