You score points for every statement
below that applies to you. You will notice that some items have
double points, because they count in more than one category. In
other words, if you �have spent more on your pickup truck than on
your education,� you get 10 points in the car category and another
10 under education for 20 total points.

their shotguns and a case of PBR beer in hopes of bagging Rudolf.
This eventually led to his wife, Maycee, to ask for a divorce. She
sued for custody of their 2 prize hunting dogs. Now he hunts with
his 1976 Chevy Bonanza truck � no gun � no dogs � just the truck.
Maycee says, �Christmas was a annual nightmare. Those idiots shot

the yard around their trailer, so it would be easier to get to the
bathroom and refrigerator. To their surprise, they discovered their
boat and the 3 toilets she brought home from the dump and planted
flowers in 2 years ago. But the biggest advantage was now they can
see their year-round Christmas display even better. Charlene

a black eye or hickey � generally both. His tongue gestures and
animal noises just seem to raise a ruckus. The water tower in Point
Pleasant, Iowa is a catalog of his girlfriends. (3 were cousins. 2

that philosophy that brought him to the top of the Redneck Wardrobe
category (91 points). Marty�s baseball hat collection is so
extensive that he can wear a different hat everyday for 2 months.
�Of course, he doesn�t,� says his wife Gertrude. �He wears the same
one till it�s frayed and you can�t tell the original color. Then I
git mad and throw it out.� �You WHAT!� says Marty. �Don�t you go
near ma belt buckle collection.� �But yoo cain�t wear �em with

the Baptist Church of Amazing Grace with, �How�s it hangin� over
yonder dare padre.� She always laughs after she says it � alone.
Sixteen-year old Miss Harris is a proud employee of the Podunk,
Georgia Wal-Mart. �The most excitin� thang that ever happened to me
