Jeez, sounds like a match made in hell. Maybe, since they have several guns, this relationship will end with a bang.

As Jeff Foxworthy says that the definition of being a red-neck is a “glorious absence of sophistication!” Obviously, sophistication has no geo-political boundries and is not limited to south of the Mason-Dixon line.

The wife wanted to discuss their current level of sophistication, and the husband said, “sho-fisht-tea… what? — you do, and you’ll clean it up!” The conversation went downhill, out onto the lawn, and down the street from there, fueled by frequent and firey infusions of liquid courage and fortitude… Yee-hah!!!!

“…husband took off on his lawnmower.” That just kills me every time I read it. I can just see him, stained wife-beater, warm can of Pabst Blue Ribbon in one hand, taking off down the road in high gear on his Lawn Boy.
