The Rest Redneck If…
Your car is worth less than its license plate. More people know you by your CB handle than by your real name. The first thing you do after your divorce is scrape your former wife's name off the bug shield on your truck. You think Motorola is a fancy name for a car part. You give your girlfriend long-thorned roses hoping she won't ask for them again. You borrow your wedding flowers from Wal-Mart. You think Hamlet is on the McDonald's breakfast menu. Your kids are going hungry tonight because you had to see your maw run her car at the dirt track race. Your dad says, "Let's hit the road for dinner," and then grabs a shovel. You ever called your sister "Mom" and didn't have to correct yourself. The directions to your bathroom include, "Go past the big oak and hang a left at the woodshed." You're in bed with your wife and you call out a name you gave to a coon you killed. You've ever been arrested for where you got your girlfriend roses. Your old car is now considered the main storage unit. Every magazine on your coffee table has a piece of toilet paper for a bookmark. Charlie Daniels is your commencement speaker. After the divorce you still call your Ex "Cuz". You have a bowling machine in your kitchen. You pick up your girfriend on a bike for the prom. The Roto-Rooter man calls for backup when visiting your house. Your grandmother stands up to pee. A policeman asks for your ID, and you answer, "About what?" You wake up with chocolate in your ears after spending the night in a fine hotel. Your neighbor spits grass when he talks. In the delivery room, your husband says,"That's worse than skinning a deer!" You have sworn on your mother's grave while she is standing beside you. You refer to your cousin as "my girlfriend". You wake up the day after your wedding to find your sister next to you. You got your tater gun hangin' over your couch in your living room as a conversation piece. You've ever entered yourself in a "Howdy Doody Look-alike" Contest. You go to a museum to see the naked babes in the paintings. Your lips move while reading a stop sign. One of the options on your truck is a spitoon. Your house has a kickstand. You drive around a parking lot for fun. Your girlfriend has ever called YOUR parents "Ma and Pa". You have to duct tape your gloves on. You've ever pruned your trees with a shotgun. Someone says they spotted Bigfoot and you go buy tickets to the tractor pull. You think that Marlboro is a cologne. Your best coat is a black and red checkered.

You raise the confederate flag in the bed of your truck whenever you go for a drive. You can't wait for the Saturday night square dance. You refer to your truck as if it had a legal first name. You've ever been given a gun as a present. Flannel is your favorite color. You or one of your relatives is named Cletus. Your grandfather can sense a storm coming by a mysterious twitching in his knee. The make, model, and license plate number of your truck are obscured by a layer of mud. You have got more bumper stickers than children. Your wife has ever taken two pairs of shoes to a funeral: one pair to trudge thru the wet Georgia red clay between the house and the pickup, and the other pair to wear at the funeral. You have ever been in a funeral where the flower truck was a pickup, particularly if it belonged to one of the family, more particularly if it was yours. You have ever had to stop at a car wash on the way to a funeral to wash the dump dirt from the back of your pickup so you can use it as a flower truck. Your clawfoot bathtub has ever been unusable because your wife was using it as a brooder. Your clawfoot bathtub sometimes serves as a hospital for injured fowl. You have ever come home and heard a ruckus in the bathroom. When you looked in, one of the injured fowl had escaped, found the chicken in the mirror, and was currently fighting with said chicken. There have ever been any gun parts, magazines, or ammunition stored on the window ledge of your kitchen. Particularly if they have if they have laid there long enough for the sun to bleach the paper on the shotgun shells. Any part of your driveway has ever been unusable due to nesting fowl. One or more doors to your house or trailer are periodically unusable due to nesting fowl. The neighborhood dogs are afraid to come around your house because the fowl are big enough to hurt them. You have ever had to climb up on the roof of an out building to get down any fowl that was frozen to the roof. You have ever worried more about the outbuildings freezing than your vehicles. You have ever had deer graze in your front yard close enough to the house that you could throw a rock and hit them. You have ever dug up your driveway to fix your water line.

You have to stop a leak in your flatbottom boat with gum and chewing tobacco. You have to pay your hair care professional in weekly installments of $3.00. You live close enough to town to get garbage service, but don't use it because they won't come down your driveway to get it.

Your lawn mower has more horsepower than your wife's car, but no blade. You roll your pickup truck and laugh about it. You think the blood on the front of your pickup truck looks cool. You think the blood on the back of your pickup truck looks cool. Your pickup truck no longer has a back. The worst day of your life was when you dropped your bottle of Jack Daniels the other day. The best day of your life was when you found an unopened bottle of Jack Daniels "over yonder in them hills." Your mustache is longer than your wife's hair. Cruise control in your truck involves fishing line, a pulley and a hook. Your gear shift lever is a pair of vise grips. Your most productive fishing lure is a Dupont drifter and a dip net. City code enforcement officers use your property as a proving ground for new recruits. You think Tang is in the fruit group. You can hit a bullseye from up to 50 yards away, but still have trouble with your ABC's. You've ever wrestled your mama for the last can of beer. You surf the net primarily for tater gun building instructions. Your car is the only one in a parking lot and you can't find it. You think your IQ is the number of coons you shot out of season. You ever wonder what happened to that nice John F. Kennedy boy. The fuel for your main mode of transportation is oats. You've run out of room on your arm from the tattoos of all wives names. You refuse to wash your truck on account that you have a strong suspicion that mud and rust is all that's holding it together. People mistakenly come to your house thinking your having a yard sale. You've ever told the local sheriff that you smell a pig and he replies, "I knew I should have taken a shower after I slopped the hogs today." Your idea of a luxury car is one that has the white fur covered seats in it. You think the internet is a new fishing tool. There's a pothole in the road and you swerve . . . to hit it. Your Truck has more Neon on it than the window of your local bar. You argue to the government that the budwiser plant should be one of the 7 wonders of the world. Your kids can't go out for Hollween because there's nobody within walking distance to get candy from. You buy the lot next to your house because you need the room for all your "stuff" (cars, trucks building materials). Your idea of new siding on the house is more tar paper. The oak tree in the front yard is an essential piece of automotive repair equipment (how else are you gonna pull the engine out of the old Dodge?)

Warp drive describes the condition of your car. Your smoke detector doubles as your dinner bell. You go to the dentist for a "Tooth Cleaning". You pull up to a gas station in a limo to buy a can of Skoal. Your boyfriend gives you car parts for your birthday, and you like it. Coons get into everyone else's trash but yours.
