Until I moved to Mississippi I never considered coveralls to be unisex
clothing. Around here it appears that all rednecks wear coveralls, even
the female variety. At times it's hard to tell one from the other and quite
often it looks like one size fits all. I was in a Wal-Mart , Yea that was
probably my first mistake wandering into their turf, standing in line behind
a redneck family. They were all wearing coveralls. Even the little redneck
baby. I kept thinking, if I grabbed him and ran, surely the judge would
consider it a rescue. Let me tell you, before we go any farther, I didn't
prejudge these people. I know country folk wear coveralls sometimes but
their wardrobe is different. The rednecks have old raggedy coveralls for
work, normally clean but obviously worn and faded coveralls for normal
everyday use and then the have the very blue, almost new, coveralls for
dress (Sunday go to meeting). Anyway if you ever stand behind a redneck
couple and hear their conversation for even just a few minutes you'll know
the difference. I believe there was talk of if they should take the kids
to the tractor pull (romantic outing) and what to do with them if they
didn't. I should get back to my main point now. Like I said everyone was
wearing coveralls. Dad probably weighed about one ten, coveralls included,
after jumping in the crik for Saturdays bath and laundry time. Mom, on
the other hand, had to weigh at least four hundred. None of them smelled
quite right but momma was really ripe and that wasn't the worst of it.
She
wasn't wearing anything under her coveralls. Parts were spilling out
in all kinds of directions. Now this is one of those things that maybe
everyone should see once but it's a sight I never want to see again. You
could put your eye out!
