His main routine is "You may be a redneck if...."

"If your working TV sits on top of your non-working TV, you may be a redneck."

"If your matching salad bowls all say Cool Whip on 'em, you may be a redneck."

"If you go to a family reunion to meet girls, you may be a redneck."

"If you've been married three times and still have the same in-laws...."

"If your front porch collapses and four dogs are killed...."

"If you have an Elvis Jello mold...."

"If you think the last words to the Star Spangled Banner are 'Gentlemen, start your engines'...."

"If you think paprika is a third world country...."

They go on and on. Maybe it's an acquired taste. I come from a family that is semi-redneck, non-Southern division, so I get a kick out of them.

Really funny guy. And not what most people would call a redneck himself; in his early working career he worked for IBM in Atlanta.
