    That's funny about the camouflage wheelchair because when I ordered my wheelchair, my mom was wanting me to get a pink or purple one.  The salesman said it comes in camouflage, I said I'll take it.  So I guess I'm a handicap redneck.

    You might be a redneck if your wheelchair was a gun rack and a bottle opener.

    No finer words were ever spoken, than those of everyone who's answered and added to this "Redneck LIst"   I've posted the new additions for everyone's extended enjoyment. 

    Who knows, maybe one day this list will take a half hour to read?

     

    Can't thank you enough!
