Please note the following BASIC tips for Rednecks:
1. Never take a beer to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting them.
3. It's tacky to take a cooler to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
5. Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to drive the U-Haul to the funeral.
DRINKING ETIQUETTE:
1. When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour
slowly so as not to "bruise" the wine.
2. If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with your hands.
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME:
1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a
taxidermist.
2. Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his
manners.
PERSONAL HYGIENE:
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in
private, using one's OWN truck keys.
2. Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money.
3. Use of toiletries can only delay bathing a few days.
4. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, as they 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 1st date.
2. Be assertive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall 2 years ago."
3. Establish with her parents what time she's expected back. Some
will say 10:00 PM, others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it's 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 after the
movie's ended.
2. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.
WEDDINGS:
1. Livestock 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 the
occasion.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE:
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun's
loaded and the deer's in sight.
2. When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires
doesn't always have 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's impolite
to ask her to bring back beer, too.
5. Don't lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

LOL, these are my favorite ones....thanks for waking me up after a long night of waiting/hoping.

That one, and the U-haul one are probably my absolute favs...but I really liked the others I mentioned as well.

Sadly, these 2 apply to some members of my family. I have to somewhat vacuum my bed sicne I live in a dorm and my bed is my couch, dinner table, and place to sleep. Changing the sheets every day isn't an option, as that would require doing laundry more than once a month. And my dad cleans his ears with matches (not as bad as truck keys I guess) in the kitchen - no idea why. He says they're itchy, but come on.
And at my cousin's wedding, the procession was done entirely on 4-wheelers. That wasn't on any of thsoe lists but I think it should be
"Jack, will you call me, if you're able?"
"I've got your phone number written, in the back of my Bible."

hmmmmm, i have seen this one a couple of times......
I'll admit it, I've done it. Called the person on the screen an idiot or said something like "How stupid can you be?". Lol.
This was my favorite though:

Lol.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
