You might be part of the problem...

Please don't blame Jeff Foxworthy for this. That incredibly talented comedian came up with the fantastic series "You might be a Redneck..." that I've often laughed at while traveling cross-country in my truck. Many people have posted "You might be..." things crediting Foxworthy, who probably has never even seen them. This one is all mine and he's not to blame for something he could have done a much better job with.

In my exhaustive tests and research, I have determined that I can offend about 95% of my friends and followers with this post. The other 5% can't actually read. If you'd rather not risk it, just scroll down and look at the pretty pictures of Hawaii where I'm spending the winter.
