martha stewart's tips for rednecks
- General
- Never take beer to a job interview.
- Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
- No matter how long the sermon, it is considered tacky to bring a cooler to church.
- If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
- Even if you are certain you are in the will, it is considered tacky to bring a U-Haul to a funeral parlor.
- Dining Out
- When deanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup, and pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the vine.
- If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label.
- It is considered poor form to repeatedly propose toasts to the woman with the biggest breasts in the room, especially if they are not related.
- Entertaining in your Home
- A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.
- Be certain to have enough beer on hand so that everyone can get thoroughly drunk, as it is considered tacky to stop a party for a beer run.
- Do not allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners are.
- Personal Hygiene
- Ear wax should only be cleaned in private with one's own truck keys.
- Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However, if living alone, deoderant is a waste of money.
- Dirt and grease under the fingernails tends to distract from a woman's jewlery and alter the taste of finger foods.
- Dating (Outside the Family)
- Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
- Let her know you're interested: "I've wanted to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago."
- Dating (Within the Family)
- It is considered bad taste to date a cousin after breaking up with a sibling, but not vice versa.
- The closer the relative you marry, the fewer guests you need to invite.
- Theater Etiquette
- Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the ending credits.
- Refrain from talking to the characters - tests have proven they cannot hear you.
- If you must burp, attempt to do so quietly and discreetly, not in time with the movie's theme music.
- Weddings
- Livestock tends to make a poor wedding present.
- Kissing the bride for more than five seconds may get you shot.
- For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cumberbund and a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky appearance.
- Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to shoes and socks for this occasion.
- Driving Etiquette
- Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded and the deer is in sight.
- When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always goes first.
- Never tow cars using pantyhose and duct tape.
- When sending your wife for gas, it is bad form to ask her to bring back beer.
- Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.
