So I was reading a Norwegian newspaper, and two headlines almost next to each other caught my eye:

1 of 4 Norwegians does not work
1 of 4 Norwegians believes in reincarnation

I wonder what the overlap is? [Big Grin]

1 of 4.

I believe in Reintarnation.... We will all be reborn as rednecks.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

That would suggests that all rednecks are evolved souls. That, or rednecks will be reborn as lesser rednecks.

Laugh now, T_smith.. but next life you'll have a hay stalk hanging out of your teeth while you pick your banjo singing "I love dippin' skoal"

I sense some serious beef going on here [Big Grin]

Don't be so hard on rednecks. I know many. I grew up around them. They're good people. I think most of them want to be reincarnated as NASCAR drivers. That is only a half joke, too. Many really would love that.

And 1 in 4 not working might be true too, though they try to work.

Cain't reintarnate as rednecks no more: NASCAR has gone lead-free.
