So, speaking of Rednecks, true stories and college...
When I was in college, I took Sociology. My family didn't have cable. Not because we were poor or anything, but because cable hadn't come to Lavon yet. I had never heard of Jeff Foxworthy or his "You Might be a Redneck" jokes.
On the first day of class, my professor started talking about sociology and what we were going to learn and he made some sort of connection to Rednecks - I don't remember what it was now. What I will always remember is how he launched into Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck if..." act only I thought he was 100% serious.
He started in and the longer he went the madder I got. By the time class was over I had my arms crossed and I was fuming. I kept thinking, "He's making fun of my people!"
Sociology turned out to be one of my most favorite classes, but I would have never known it from that first day.
