No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

A contribution from my friend, Linda M.

Food for thought from the 
Redneck Book of Manners:

1.Never take a beer to a job interview.

2.Always identify people in your yard before 

shooting at them.

3. It's considered poor taste 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. If drinking directly from the bottle, always

 hold it with your fingers covering the label.

2. Avoid throwing bones and food scraps on 

the floor as the restaurant may not have dogs.

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 assertive. 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.

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 too sporty an 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/girlfriend down the road

with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back
beer.

5. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, 

especially when driving.

6. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral 

procession.

Two Reasons why it is hard to solve a Redneck 

Murder:

1. All the DNA is the same.

2. There are no dental records

Some of these are questionable but others I found
quite amusing!! I must be a redneck because of the 
crumbs in my bed!
