"Right at the end of Eucalyptus Road," Billy Bob replied.

"Could you spell that for me please?" the operator asked.

After a very lengthy pause Billy Bob said, "How 'bout I just drag her on over to Pine Street and y'all can pick her up there?"

Oh how right you are! But for the wrong reason. You tell that in Israel, and they'll answer you with a dozen more that are *more* funny. And then they'll beat ya up 'cuz that's funny too.

Almost EVERY Jewish joke I ever heard was told to me by a Jew. Same thing with redneck jokes.

aside from foxworthy (sp?) almost every redneck joke I've heard has come from black people.

Never heard of Ron "Tater Salad" White? Bill "Here's Your Sign" Engvall? Larry the Cable Guy?

And my guess is, you don't listen to country music.

And almost every redneck joke I've heard has come from city dwellers and transplants.

Well that's a shame. Redneck comedians have been around forever, whether it's Andy Griffith or Jerry Clower, or the present gaggle of types like Cletus Judd or the Southern Fried Chicks. (I'm sure people have heard of Brett Butler?).

Anyone seen the Blue Collar Comedy Tour? Very funny!

True. But those performers always portrayed country people and country attitudes with affection. They weren't trying to put anyone down.

Anyone notice the "country good, city bad" attitude in country music? It comes across like an inferiority complex. Examples include Hank Jr.'s "A Country Boy Can Survive" and "Better Class of Loser" by Randy Travis.

Own it, but highly recommend Ron White's routines that are only excerpted in that. He's hysterical. AND, according to his website, appearing in Salisbury on Oct 22nd!

I'm becoming a slow convert to country music because of something ELSE I've noticed. It tends to be funnier, more upbeat, optimistic. By contrast, most modern rock tends to be dour, sad, angry, angst-ridden. About every fifth country song I ever hear is about how happy and lucky he is to be with her; rock songs tend to be on the order of "She F****n' Hates Me" kind of stuff.

It's not just in country music. How about songs like "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay" and "Midnight Train to Georgia"? Other genres including rock, depict cities as cold, lifeless, heart-numbing places. While country music and R&B might decry it, rock of course revels in it (because its roots are in rebellion and teenage angst)

Soooo, you are saying that Sunflower has impressed you with her intelligence and education in such a way, that you can't believe she's a redneck, despite living in so. md and being a member of this forum? And as a sophisticated city girl, it's not funny for her to make fun of other groups she feels to be inferior to her.

I don't know anything about Sunflower. And there's no guarantee that anyone on this forum actually lives in SoMd. We have some former residents here, for one thing.

I didn't mean that all redneck jokes are offensive to rural people. I mean it's all in the attitude. Jeff Foxworthy is probably my favorite example of a comedian who can laugh about rural life. He actually debunks a lot of city people's myths about rural people, like the BS about all rural people being incestuous inbreds.

Richard Pryor did the same thing for blacks. While some blacks might have been embarrassed by his outlandish tales about ghetto life, that was their problem, not his. He wasn't putting down blacks, and not just because he's black himself. Worlds away from the racist jokes that my older relatives used to tell.
