Janie - FYI I've lived the majority of my life in the South { currently rural Georgia } and I can count rednecks as some of my best friends. Trust me that they do know how to laugh at each other and do so on a regular basis. As for jokes that marginalize a group of people or promote stereotypes? Well sometimes chicks just don't understand them and they have to be explained a second time.

You DO know I'm kidding don't you?
