Rednecks are getting smarter every day…. or maybe I’m getting older and wiser??? I grew up in redneck country. A small town in deep East Texas. I guess I was a shemale redneck. My graduating class was 49 including me. If you went out in the evening as a teenager, by the time you got home your parents knew if you had been in trouble. If the basketball game was over and your parents had not picked you up, the local sheriff would give you a ride home. The boys drove pickup trucks to school and had guns hanging on the back window because they went hunting in the afternoon. They didn’t lock their truck. We had no school shootings. There could have never been a Columbine b/c the idiots would have been taken out very early.
The town was so small, there are no red lights, no Walmart, no movie theater, etc. We had a Dairy Queen and other local joints. If the police pulled you over for speeding, it was because you were REALLY speeding…. not to create ticket revenues for the city. At 18 I couldn’t wait to get out of that small town. I went out, “made something of myself” and became a Houston lawyer doing energy deals. Yes this sounds like an old country song. Now that I’ve lived in the city, the rednecks are looking smarter and smarter.
My friend Terah sent this to me today and it is funny b/c it has a hint of truth!
Red Neck Bank Loan
Never underestimate A Texas Redneck cowboy.
A Redneck from Sweetwater, Texas walked into a
Bank in New York City and asked for the loan
Officer. He told the loan officer that he was
Going to Paris on an international redneck festival for
Two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he
Was not a depositor of the bank.
The bank officer told him that the bank
Would need some form of security for the loan, so the
Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car
Was parked on the street in front of the bank. The
Redneck produced the title and everything checked
Out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as
Collateral for the loan and apologized for having
To charge 12% interest.
Later, the bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh
At the Redneck from the south for using a $250,000
Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of
The bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s
Private underground garage and parked it.
Two weeks later, the Redneck
Returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07.
The loan officer said, ‘Sir, we are very happy
To have had your business, and this transaction has
Worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While
You were away, we checked you out on Dunn &
Bradstreet and found that you are a highly
Sophisticated investor and multimillionaire with
Real estate and financial interests all
Over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind
turbines around Sweetwater, Texas. What puzzles
Us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?
The good ‘ole Texas boy replied,
‘Where else in New York City can I park my car for
Two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there
When I return?
His name was BUBBA….
