   Tips

   These are some good tips.   
       
   TIPS FROM THE REDNECK BOOK OF MANNERS   
   1.      Never take a beer to a job interview.   
   2.      Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.   
   3.      It's considered poor taste to take a cooler to church.   
   4..     If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets.   
   5.      Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is still   
   considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home.   
       
   DINING OUT   
   1.      If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers   
   covering the label.   
   2.      Avoid throwing bones and food scraps on the floor as the restaurant   
   may not have dogs.   
       
   ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME   
   1.      A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a   
   taxidermist.   
   2.      Do not allow the dog to eat at the table no matter how good his   
   manners are.   
       
   PERSONAL HYGIENE   
   1.      While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be   
   done in private using one's OWN truck keys.   
   2.      Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days.   
   However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money.   
   3.      Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend   
   to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods.   
       
   DATING (OUTSIDE THE FAMILY)   
   1.      Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.   
   2.      Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: 'I've been wanting to   
   go out with you since I read that stuff on the restroom wall two years ago.'   
   3.      Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will   
   say 10:00 PM; others might say 'Monday.' If the latter is the answer, it is   
   the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.   
   4.      Always have a positive comment about your date's appearance, such as,   
   'Ya' sure don't sweat much for a fat gal.'   
       
   WEDDINGS   
   1.      Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.   
   2.      Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.   
   3.      For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund   
   and a clean bowling shirt can create too sporty an appearance.   
   4.      Though uncomfortable, say 'yes' to socks and shoes for this special   
   occasion.   
   5.      It is not appropriate to tell the groom how good his wife is in the   
   sack.   
       
   DRIVING ETIQUETTE   
   1.      Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is   
   loaded, and the deer is in sight.   
   2.      When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires   
   always has the right of way.   
   3.      Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.   
   4.      When sending your wife/girlfriend down the road with a gas can, it is   
   impolite to ask her to bring back beer.   
   5.      Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving.   
   6.      Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.   
       
       
   Regards,   
       
   Roger
