> Please see definition below. I know we discussed this sort of thing on admin and I thought you might like to know the definition. I am aware that some people might not consider it disparaging but some very surely do. I am curious about why you chose to post it. Do you consider yourself a redneck? I know a lot of people think it's okay to use that kind of stereotypical humour about groups they consider themselves to be a part of. I'm not sure I agree with that either though.

Ok, I guess we all need to think twice about trying to post anything funny on the social board. GEEZ! Maybe Dr. Bob should have some humor guidelines???Mik

> > BASIC ETIQUETTE
> > - Never take a beer to a job interview.
> > - Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
> > - It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
> > - If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets.
> > - Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is still considered tacky to arrive in a U-Haul at the funeral home.

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

> > HOME ENTERTAINING
> > - A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.
> > - Do not allow the dog to eat at the table...no matter how good his manners are.
> >
> > PERSONAL HYGIENE
> > - While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys.
> > - Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days.
> > - However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money.
> > - 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)
> > - Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
> > - Don't be shy. 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."
> > - 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.
> >
> > MOVIE ETIQUETTE
> > - Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after the movie has ended.

> > WEDDINGS
> > - Livestock, generally, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
> > - Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.
> > - For the groom, at least, try to rent a tux. Your uncle's leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky appearance.
> > - For the bride, shaving your armpits is a must. No need to shave your legs unless your dress is short.
> > - Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for this special occasion.

> > - Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
> > - When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer and cigarettes.
> > - Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession
