A very wize and thought inducing radio personality I regard as one with great vision by the name of Charley Douglas the fathered a gig called the RoadGang Trucker Radio show which became a cult classic for many of us who took to the highway to build our lives on as gearheads OTR Truckers and us who hook 🪝 it for a living said it best.
On one of his shows he made a closing address at some public address gig that went: " one of the things us Southeners have is our ability to laugh at ourselves and enjoy it. Beyond the ability that folks that have A Legacy and roots in of the Heavenly place called DiXie possess is the fact that we can take an insult or a contradictory comment and turn it around and make a living with. Two examples one that Foxworthy said in one of his appearances was about the negative label 🏷 called being a Redneck. Understand the comment Redneck originated about as a farmer who after plowing a field many by a mule drawn plow would come home with a sunburned red neck. These days it's about some folks like 👍 me and many of a DiXiE nature live a bit more simple and direct to the point rather than being caught up in the Mean People that think they are all that. Putting yourself into the thought holding pattern is a bit narcissistic. 😳 Considering that there is only two above and beyond human being the Father and only begotten son Jesus Christ..
On a personal basis: when as a tease and what would be an derogatory remark I was subjected to at age 17. One of the foundrs of the Hazzard Knytes put a piece on a billboard that nick named me the Pantyhose Kid. Many would be offended. Me on the other hand with an extra load of positive self confidence took that and reversed it. Saying I Love Toews aka going towing for a career. That was long before I re-entered the affection of all things aviation.
