Rednecks and Working Men

Then there are the rednecks and the working men, who may be one in the same or separate, depending on which one of them you're talking to, at what time of day, and in what bar. The odds are HIGHLY LIKELY that the redneck AND the working man will have knives in their pockets that they use for "work," but that they are actually carrying to stick a stupid pig like YOU. So, I would say it is a good idea to leave these gentlemen and their consorts alone when they are done with a hard days work (or no work at all) between the hours of 5PM and 2AM weekdays and all day on the weekend. They work hard, they play hard, they stab hard. They drink whiskey and bourbon and PBR and Bud. Unlike the younger folk, they don't drink PBR because it's cheap, they drink because they really like the way it tastes. They say crank destroys your taste buds and this may be the proof.

There are specific places where you will find reds and workmen, and as soon as you walk in these places, you will know it. If these bad boys make the hair stand up on your neck, walk on to the next bar and try to find your niche. Beware especially the redneck who is here on vacation from the mountains or from South Carolina. They have no respect for anyone and are here to run on a rampage and pillage and get arrested. They will go a whoompin' and a hollerin', rompin' and a railin' until they are asked to leave--then they'll wait around for you in the parking lot for another hour. Them boys will usually have VERY short hair, or a shave head, and they will be tryin' their damnest to grow some facial hair.

A few years ago we could sprinkle in a few Mexicans with the working men, but since the housing boom went bust the island has seen very few of the fine, hard-working Further Southern gentlemen in the local establishments.
