Say what you want about the south.
A redneck was stopped by a game warden in Central Mississippi recently
with two ice chests full of fish. He was leavin' a cove well-known for
its fishing.

The game warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to catch those
fish?' 'Naw, sir', replied the redneck. 'I ain't got none of them
there licenses. You must understand, these here are my pet fish.'

'Pet fish?'

'Yeah. Every night, I take these here fish down to the lake and let
'em swim 'round for awhile. Then, when I whistle, they jump right back
into these here ice chests, and I take 'em home.'

'That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that.'

The redneck looked at the warden for a moment and then said, 'It's the
truth, Mr. Gubbmint Man. I'll show ya. It really works.'

'O. K.', said the warden. 'I've got to see this!'

The redneck poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the warden says, 'Well?'

'Well, what?', says the redneck.

The warden says, 'When are you going to call them back?'

'Call who back?'

'The FISH', replied the warden!

'What fish?', replied the redneck.

Moral of the story: Rednecks may not be as smart as some city folks,
but they ain't as dumb as some people think.

I don't hold much respect for anybody who stereotypes, regardless of
whom they are stereotyping. Here's a fact. The Atanta metro area has
more college graduates per capita that almost anywhere in the U.S.

Those Atlanta guys wouldn't make a pimple on a real redneck's ass. And,
they probably don't know a fishin' pole from a TV remote.

OK. Change it to Scottsville NY, where I once stumbled across a guy and two
kids fishing, and they had a lot more than their limit of trout in their
bucket. I wasn't about to play cop, but I did so indirectly by mentioning
that the DEC wardens patrolled this particular creek regularly, and he ought
to be careful. He says "Well, my wife & another kid are at home, and these
here extras are for them." Yup yup yup. They're everywhere.

Oh, indeed! In western NY once you get out of the Rochester area, down
around Cohocton, Wayland, Bath, etc. THAT is Appalachia at it's
finest! Hell, I know people who live so far up on those hills that
electricity doesn't go that far, they've never had electricity!

Yep. I was wading in Chemung River one day, about 8 years ago, turned
around, and there was a guy "just checking out" my tackle box 50 feet away.
I solved that problem, but later that week, I finished my pistol permit
paperwork. There are some very strange people down that way. Many years
before that, a friend and I went looking for a restaurant down a long
"unimproved" road near Stillwater Reservoir. We found the place, sat down at
the bar, and the FIRST thing the bartender asks is "You a cop?" A bunch of
plaid shirt & suspender fellas looked at us like we were from another
planet.

Flashed him with that Pinky ring eh?

Hopefully one day BATF will get it together, and close the loopholes, so
lunatics (funny farm alumni) like you can't easily purchase firearms.

That's a legitimate question. Must be all the cops in that area are
obese, bald, and afraid of dogs. Did you have your pinky ring on too?

Did the guy look like he needed killing? Or are you just bragging about
owning a pistol, like that other stump-broke guy in here?

Yep, I know of a place that is still in existence that if they don't
know you, you'll have a tough time convincing them you're okay!
Luckily after not living there for many years, I tell them who my
family is, and I'm okay.

Man, it's just a joke.
