[b] MARTHA STEWART'S TIPS FOR REDNECKS[/b] 1. Never take a beer to a job interview. 2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them 3. It's considered tacky 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. When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup, and pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the vine. 2. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label. 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. THEATER ETIQUETTE 1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after the movie has ended. 2. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you. 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 a tacky appearance. 4. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for this special occasion. 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 down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer. 5. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession. |

A TEXAS REDNECK'S ADVICE ON LIFE... 1. Don't squat with your spurs on. 2. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 3. Lettin' the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in. 4. Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly. 5. If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. 6. If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around. 7. A good horse never comes in a bad color. 8. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him....The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. 9. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 10. There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. 11. Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think. 12. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. 13. Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco. 14. It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. 15. Always drink upstream from the herd. 16. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson. 17. When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else. 18. Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but you might need to know what it was. 19. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket. 20. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 21. There are three kinds of men: 1. The one that learns from reading. 2. The one that learns from observation. 3. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves. |
