A winter statistic:
98% of Americans say "Oh Shit" before going in the ditch on a slippery
road.
The other 3% are from Maine, Vermont or the U.P. of Michigan and they
say "Hold my beer and watch this."

This is quite a revelation. I had been under the impression that "hold
my beer and watch this" was a uniquely Texan (or at least Southern)
expression.
Evidently it's possible to be a redneck and a Yankee at the same time...

Or even an Alaskan.
Yankee city slickers pissed me off, the prissy dudes.
So I moved to the wilds of Wisconsin to find the real
people, the honest, salt of the earth yeomen. I found
that they were just the same as everybody else. What
a let down. Now I'm a hermit and don't expect much
from myself or anybody else.
This is true.
I'm native-born Miamian, but I turned Yankee when I did a 180 in the
snow on an exit ramp & rolled it backwards into a little pullout.
OK, I drank a beer afterwards.

The relevant part of the essence of "redneck" (as we understand it
here, well outside its home territory) is captured by two quite
distinct ethnic groups hereabouts: "swamp Yankees" and "Frenchies".
Plenty of both in both Maine and Vermont. I'm not sure if they'd
hold each other's beers, though.

I'd thought it was Newfies. I got email recently
informing me of this.

I was informed that it was Oklahoma in an email last week.

98 + 3 = 101

Well, you know what they say. There are three kinds of people in the
world; those who are good at math, and those who aren't.

So, 98% and 3% is, ummm.... where y'all from?

the "yoopers" in the u.p. in michigan
say that they don't slow down on icy
or snowy roads because if you go in
a ditch you can drive right back out
at a fast speed but if you slow down
for bad roads that's why you get stuck
in a ditch.
And they're in a hurry to get to the bar. That was the last beer.

to the yoopers there is no
such thing as a "last beer".
