Letter to my Redneck Son
Dear Redneck
Son:
I'm writing this letter slow because
I'm writing this letter slow because
I know you can't read fast.
We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so that they wouldn't have to change their address.

This place is
really nice.
It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works so well though: Last week I put a load in and pulled the chain and haven't seen them since.
The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days.
About that coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Stanley said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.
Your sister had a baby this morning; but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if your an aunt or an uncle. The baby looks just like your brother....
Uncle Ted fell in a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off playfully and drowned. We had him cremated and he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a Pickup truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down.
There isn't much more news at this time.
Nothing much has happened.
Love,
Ma
PS I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed.

8 DANGEROUS WORDS WOMEN USE
8 DANGEROUS WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the
word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Nothing: This is
the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your
toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(3) Go Ahead: This is a
dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(4) Loud Sigh: This is
actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A
loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her
time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for
the meaning of nothing.)
(5) That's Okay: This
is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay
means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will
pay for your mistake.
(6) Thanks: A woman is
thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to
add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is
PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'
... that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is
something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it
herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's
response refer to # 3.
