John,
I believe I've visited in a couple of those churches...especially in certain parts of Kentucky and Tennessee. One of 'em even had a fancy "six-seater" outhouse out back near the woods.
With due respect for the absolutely funny "redneck" entries...I must share what the local Baptist Youth Minister (my former employee) shared with me:
"You might be a redneck if you used Christmas lights for an extension cord." I asked him how he came up with that profound observation and he replied: "Cuz I did it!"
