Joke tested on 10 white and 10 black co workers.  Equal decibel sounds from
laughter on average from both groups.  Did not test for male/ female volume
levels.  Next test will be to test 10 people from the state of Idaho to see
if they are offended.  Then it's off to the National Potato Board.  Bottom
line?

It going to get pretty expensive to tell a joke on this list.  Maybe Senor
Pollard could do my Idaho testing sample.  Wait a minute, he's not Mescan, I
mean Hispanic.  Just to show you all us rednecks can laugh at ourselves,
Here's my ripoff of a Jeff Foxworthy delivery.

 You might be a redneck if you think Ned Beatty deserved an Oscar for his
performance in the movie Deliverance.

 Tested this on 10 white co- workers that all laughed(they all had
turtlenecks on so I could't tell which was which).  All 10 black co-workers
asked, "Who the hell is Ned Beatty"?   Jon Voight and Burt Reynolds haven't
responed to my emails yet, but the toothless bald kid that played the banjo
liked the joke.  He made his millions renting rafts on the river after the
movie ran in the theaters.  Funny, that movie's almost 30 years old now.

 His most prized possession is the prop of the hand sticking out of the lake
at the end of the movie. Gives a new perspective on the "talk to the hand"
rap.
