Hah. What I found amusing is the magnet that looks like an open book is a Japanese magnet meaning "new driver."
"Officially called the Shoshinsha mark (shoshin untensha hyōshiki), new drivers must display the green leaf mark for one year after getting their license to warn other drivers that the driver is not very skilled."
Also interesting: Japan has a sticker for drivers that are over 70 and should be avoided..

I know we are joking about rednecks here and how they are portrayed. But, the guys I work with like chewing, smoking, hunting, drive big trucks etc. But, when they need to be seen a professional they step up and act in the way that portrays them as FFs. There is a time and a place for both sides, but knowing when to put that game face on is important and making the dept look bad is not cool at all.

And this would be a bad thing?
You do realize it was mislabeled as the Civil War when it was really the War of Northern Aggression, right?

and I can not even mention how many of my relatives have married-divorced-then marriage each other again-then divorced- repeat repeat repeat... I think they should just have affairs... or skip the marriage and date... LOL... because I am tired of getting invited to weddings of the same people that I have seen get married TO EACH OTHER 4 times already before...

I think it comes out of jealousy. I live in Western New York, and sometomes things we do or say are termed redneck. But I think it comes from the use of inginuity, creativeness, doing the best you can with the euipment (and people) you got. People in my neck of the woods think out of the box and are good problem solvers. We aren't afraid to call for help with any issue and look at what others are doing right as to not reinvent the wheel. We like BBQ, beer, chew, and getting dirty at drill as well as calls. I think it is a percieved thing.
Ya'll don't botha me, mcall me whats ya wan. Me en my boys give 100% ever time r pagers tone. LOL!
