A redneck walks into a bar in Texas, orders three mugs of Budweiser and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells him, "You know, mug goes flat after I draw it, it would taste better if you bought one at a time." The redneck replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Australia, the other is in Dublin, and I'm in Texas. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we drank together. So I drink one for each o'my brothers and one for myself." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The redneck becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss." The redneck looks quite puzzled for a moment, then light dawns and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. Hasn't affected my brothers though."

REDNECK ETIQUETTE

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.

DINING OUT
1.   When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup, and
pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the vine.
2.   If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your
fingers covering the label.

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.

DATING (Outside the Family)
1.   Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first
date.
2.   Be aggressive. 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.

THEATER ETIQUETTE
1.   Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up
immediately after the movie has ended.
2.   Refrain from talking to characters on the screen.  Tests have
proven they can't hear you.

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 a tacky appearance.
4.   Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for this
special occasion.

DRIVING
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 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.
 
TIPS FOR ALL OCCASIONS
1.   Never take a beer to a job interview.
2.   Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
3.   It's considered tacky 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.
