A
Red Neck Joke
A
truck driver was driving down the highway when he sees a priest
hitchhiking on the road. He stops to pick up the priest, but
he has a few misgivings about giving him a ride; usually when
the driver sees a redneck on the road, he hits them -- with
a priest in the truck, he'd have to swerve. But the driver
decides to pick up the priest.
A little while later, he comes across a redneck
hitchhiking. He decides to just swerve and let this one live
when, all of a sudden he hears a "BOOM!" The driver looks
over at the priest, who says, "Don't worry -- I got him with
the door."
