The thing that makes this photos so funny is that the guy doing the jumping is wearing a halo, which means he must have a broken neck or something!

And what's REALLY funny is there are so many REAL okies that are just going to freak you out.

Those of us who live here awhile know what I am talking about. We got some straight up hillbillys here.

And I don't mean that in a derogatory way by any means. There are some people who are just down home folks! Poor as all get out and not changed much since the Grapes of Wrath was made. These pics I post are just for fun, but there ARE some real okies here that crack me up.

I can just see someone from NJ or back east, all polished up going..."hmm, are those neighbors from Oklahoma for real?..."

Maybe we can break Colleeng in by telling her some of the things we okies have done for fun as kids...
Like me and my cousins HAVE swam in some muddy okie waters!

Maybe so, but an awful lot of them went to Alaska, and I do believe I ran into every single one.

And a few of them could have given lessons to the Hatfields and McCoys.

Oh, DH and I are not babes in the woods. Years ago, we lived in a trailer park in Austell, Georgia, where our neighbors looked a little bit like the pictures you posted. One night, while we slept through it, the neighbor across the way had her trailer set on fire by her estranged husband because she refused to come out so he could shoot her. She still waited for the fire department to come before getting out.

Another time while we were living in California, we invited a couple we worked with for dinner. They arrived a half hour late, carrying a six pack of beer, missing the two they drank on the way over. As soon as they ate the last bit of dinner they stood up and said, "well, thanks, see ya", and left.

When we lived in Nevada, we had a friend we gave a TV to that we no longer had use for. He sold it to the woman he was living with who supported him.

Sounds like too me you need to send this stuff to Jeff Foxworthy, he may be looking for some new material, LMAO.

Now I have some real redneck kinfolks. I once visited one a few years back, when we step out onto he's new wood deck the first thing that caught my attention was the 12ft satellite dish that was turned upside down on a metal post in the middle of the patio table. It was being used as an umbrella. Oh, and they had put X-mas lights on the underside to give it "ambience" . And they still had the same tire horse swing, you know, the ones that were cut and turned inside out and made to look like a horse, hanging in the same tree from when I was a kid. Plus, the old painted tractor tires at the end of the drive-way stuck in the ground up-right.
Where's Martha Stewart when ya need her?

When my daughter first moved to Alabama, I started saving Foxworthy stuff to send along to her. I have hundreds of 'you might be a redneck if' things stashed on a disk somewhere, from Santa redneck to alien redneck to who knows what. But she wouldn't let me send them!

As for Martha Stewart, she's still busy trying to figure out how all those Wall Street sharks gobbled up her little goldfish self.

There are people who live in town here, that I refer to as "The Dumpers". Because they bring crap in the back of the mini pickup to dump along side of the road.

The idiot even brings his 12 yr old son along. Once he had his wife and his son and when they were driving ~!from~ the dump, they had exchanged their crap and picked up a large dryer or something and the KID was driving!!

I laughed because they had made an evening out of it. Goin shoppin at the dump, honey! Wanna come along?

(THE KID) Kin ah drive?! Huh!? Kin ah drive, pops?! Kin I????

(DAD) SIGH, I guess you kin drive on the way home!

I hate all the litter people dump on the side of the road and in creeks. I'd better not catch any of them or I might find myself in jail!

Colleen....you have never heard of Jeff Foxworthy? He is the one that started the "You might be a redneck" jokes. Like, if you mow your lawn and find a car, you might be a redneck.
