Yeah, lets keep adding.

I also forgot to mention if your from Walden or Accord you'll find an old refrigerator on the porch next to that rocking chair that doesn't work. Or am I leading into the great Jeff Foxworthy routine "you know your a redneck if". :D :p :D

You own mobile home and the four cars on the lawn aren't. eek! eek!
