joke time

[Brian37]

What do you call 32 rednecks gathered together in the same room?

A full set of teeth.

I was raised on a street full of bullies and bigots not in a red county but a suburb of DC a very pluralistic international hub of a city. I don't have a full set of teeth now and I am living in a very Red state in a very red county in a trailer. 

Conversely my friend John from Oklahoma is a "redneck" and extremely socially and economically liberal and an atheist too. He has no teeth and he lived in a trailer and now lives in an apartment. 

I don't mind jokes as long as they are not done in hate. I tease John about his accent, he does say "taters" and "might could" and "fixen to do" and he loves country music, not corporate country, but more old style and bluegrass, and he is a godless liberal like me. 

Yes, even the word "redneck" can be both a term of endearment and used as a bigoted slur. Not saying don't joke about it at all, but do know there are even liberals and atheists even in red states. Hate the bigots sure, but don't assume everyone in a red state with an accent is a bigot. I can tell you from personal friendship for the past 16 years that simply is not the case.

Next time you pay for something and the cashier asks you if you want to pay with cash, credit or check, say "Goat, well there was a time before money."

Whenever I'm asked if I want to pay by cash, credit or cheque, I say "yes".

I do that too, and they cannot really argue, those are the ways one can pay. He he. I love the "Huh" look on their face.
