I thought it came from farmers being on tractors all day and getting their necks sunburned.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you might live in Upstate New York.

You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.

It's the truth....

You think the O.J. trial was the big Sunkist and Minutemaid taste test.

Taking a dip has nothing to do with water.

Your toilet paper has page numbers on it.

Default battle of blair mountain

thats close fellas but the actual story is...


new trainees in the colad mines were required to wear red neckerchiefs so the bosses could identify them as newbies... after work these young men would go to the local bars and start raisin cain. the tavern owners would say here come the rednecks causin trouble.

today new men under ground are required to wear red hard hats.... and are now called REDHATS...

MY dad went to work under ground in 1913 when he was 13 years old. he helped build the union in southern WV coal fields. yes he was at the battle of blair mountain. and many other small union skirmishes... and just to let you good folx know he told many a story of having to help a few rednecks out of tight spots.

happy huntin yall
