Paratus Familia

Hop on over to Enola Gay's blog, Paratus Familia and read her post, "Perhaps I qualify as a Redneck?!!.

An excerpt from her post.

We were all laughing uproariously and then, the jokes started hitting a little too close to home.   This is the sad state in which we find ourselves....

You Might Be A Redneck If....

• Your central heating system consists of leaving the oven door open.
• Your lawnmower says, Moo".
• Nothing in your refrigerator was purchased at a store.
• Your shotgun sees more action than your lawn mower.
• You've tightened a loose screw with your fingernail.
• You've ever hollered, "You kids quit playing on that sheet metal!".
• The curtains in your living room are camouflage.
• You have to go outside to get something out of the fridge.
• Anything in your home is running off a forklift battery.
• You think "prime real estate" is the chair next to the wood cookstove.
• Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night requires shoes and a flashlight.
• Any of your wedding gifts came from an Army Navy store.
• You're saving up to gravel your driveway.
• Your lawn fertilizer was in your cow about five minutes earlier.
• You've ever had to have a wrecker pull your car out of a pothole in your driveway.
• You don't have electricity in every room of your house.
• You've ever heard "I told you it was loaded" while staring at a hole in your ceiling.
• Privacy in your bathroom means singing loudly.
• You've bandaged a wound with duct tape.
• You've ever moved furniture in a horse trailer.
• You use your bathroom plunger every day.
• You've ever been stuck in your own driveway.

Are we rednecks?  I'll let you be the judge!
