You might be a Redneck
Man jumps from DeSoto Falls, survives
The Associated Press

FORT PAYNE, Ala. (AP) — A Georgia man was hospitalized after jumping from the side of DeSoto Falls Monday and plunging 150 feet before hitting the water.

The leap wasn't a suicide attempt since several witnesses reported that prior to the plunge, the man yelled, "Watch this," said Tim Whitehead, superintendent of DeSoto State Park.

Jason Carter, 23, of Trion, Ga., jumped from the east side of the canyon at about 3 p.m., he said. He was airlifted to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, Tenn., after rescue personnel spent three hours removing him from the canyon. Carter, who was treated for a back injury, was reported to be in stable condition Tuesday.

Guys like this are the reason Yankees love to bash Southerners.

1. Actually, a true Redneck would've been heard to have said
"Hold my beer"

4. Those guys are not exclusively Southern....
In fact, I believe some prime specimens can be found in the Great North.

5. "I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess"
Keep your stick on the ice.
