LOL, I guess after reading this list I'm not a red-neck. I might have a little with some of my containers I have used to store food in. Hey they are free!

That Janie Girl said...

Oh my God those overalls cracked me up!

And the list…ummm…fits. Well, parts of it, anyway.

Sad but true...

Kristy, years ago mayo, and jelly came in screw top jars, like mason jars, only round. Mom saved them and used them in canning stuff.

Janie, Those GA Jeans are so comfortable, but don't wear them around a pan frying bacon.

Middle Child, kinda like Chicago, the only state that has former governors and mayors making their state auto tags.

Linda, those coveralls don't stretch that much. Have to make room.

Jim, not sad. Be proud of any redneck or hillbilly you have in ya.

I can identify with several of them. Especially the one about flea soap in the shower...where else would I keep it when that's where the dog I had would get its bath. You know it didn't matter when it would shake the water from its fur because we would both be wet anyway.

I so have to swipe this one...

Dear god! Lost for words :)

NavyOne said...

I am going to pretend like I did not see that picture. . .

Coffeypot said...

Miss Em, I think we can all identify with many of these… at least us who are Southern by the grace of God.

David, you are welcome to it. I got it from someone else, too.

Wendy, first of all, welcome to the Coffeypot. You are a brave and adventurous woman. I can understand you lack of words, too. One of the themes of this blog is shock and awe. 

N1, it reminds me of some of the Navy Chief’s I worked for back in the day. Except the Chief would be holding a coffee cup or a beer bottle in his hand. Never a sissy plastic cup…
