Martha
Stewart's Advise To Rednecks
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.
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.
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 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 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 down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring
back beer.
5. Do not lay rubber
while traveling in a funeral procession.
