You look like an idiot.<\/li>\n<li>Let&#8217;s get this straight, it&#8217;s called a gravel road. I drive a pickup truck because I need to. No matter how slow you drive, you&#8217;re going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.<\/li>\n<li>They are pigs, cattle and oil wells. That&#8217;s what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don&#8217;t like it? No. 2 goes south and north. No. 1 goes east and west. Pick one.<\/li>\n<li>So, you drive a sixty-thousand dollar car. We&#8217;re real impressed. We have a quarter-million dollar combine that we drive three weeks a year.<\/li>\n<li>So every person in a pickup waves. It&#8217;s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.<\/li>\n<li>We started hunting and fishing when we were nine years old. Yeah, we saw &#8220;Bambi&#8221; too. We got over it.<\/li>\n<li>If a cell phone rings when ducks are coming in, we shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don&#8217;t have it up to your ear at the time.<\/li>\n<li>Yeah, we eat beef and pork. You want sushi and caviar? It&#8217;s available at the corner bait shop.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;Opener&#8221; refers to the first day of deer season. It&#8217;s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.<\/li>\n<li>We open doors for women. This applies to everyone regardless of age.<\/li>\n<li>No, there&#8217;s no &#8220;Vegetarian Special&#8221; on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef&#8217;s Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey.<\/li>\n<li>When we set a table there are three main dishes; meats, vegetables and breads. We use three spices; salt, pepper and ketchup.<\/li>\n<li>You bring &#8220;Coke&#8221; into my house it better be brown, wet, served Over ice and plenty of it! You bring &#8220;Hooch&#8221; into my house it better have four legs, a tail and have a nose for partridge, duck or pheasant. You Bring &#8220;Mary Jane&#8221; to my house she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck and have long hair.<\/li>\n<li>Yeah, we have golf courses. Don&#8217;t hit in the water hazards &#8211; it spooks the fish.<\/li>\n<li>Colleges? Try Olds College. They come outta there with an education and a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickup trucks when they come home for the holidays.<\/li>\n<li>We have more Air Force and Army than any other Province, so, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Mess with Alberta&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Our military is only used as a backup. Per capita, each man, woman and child owns at least two firearms and knows how to use them.<\/li>\n<li>Also, remember that Ralph once said, Alberta can make it without Canada, but Canada can&#8217;t make it without Alberta.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Who says we are rednecks???   We were under the impression everyone else was just backwards!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"technoratitag\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tags\/funny\" rel=\"tag\">funny<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tags\/Alberta\" rel=\"tag\">Alberta<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got this via email from my good friend Wendy: Pull your droopy pants up.
