 My fellow United Methodist, Jeff Foxworthy has made a living off of redneck jokes. I once shared a stage with him at the North Georgia Conference. Though I am a southern boy, I couldn’t hold a candle to him. He’s got a corner on the redneck market. But there are plenty of rednecks in N.C. as well. In fact we used to have a disk jockey in Raleigh whose call name was Red Neckerson.  Then too there was a rumor that N.C. state troops stopped anyone at the state line comin’ north from S.C. and checked their necks to make sure they were from S.C. It was an instant I.D. This nice little collection of odds and sods comes my way courtesy of my friend Jim Horn, not known to be a redneck, but rather a proper Kentucky Gentleman.  Enjoy.
