Jeff Foxworthy is hysterical, I love his quotes. He's been around for a long time and I heard many of his quotes before but they don't get old. Big, big fan!

This book is small, smaller than a passport. To the seller's defense they list the size of the book, but how many times do you check the height & width. I agree with another review, it will take 5 minutes to read this. The content is what you would expect but way too short, two jokes a page.

This "book" has 53 Kindle locations. That's about 20 Kindle screens. It can be read in 5 minutes.

$4.79 seems sort of steep for 5 minutes' entertainment.

I was thinking of buying his "Extreme Makeover" for double the money but what will I get? Another 5 minutes at $2 per minute?

You might be a redneck if you don't like being fleeced.

The humor of Jeff Foxworthy reminds me of the old television show "Sanford and Son." The main characters were all black, and most of them were poor. Therefore, they could poke fun at it and even use the stereotypes used to depict poor blacks. It was the only network television show where the word ni**er could be used. Foxworthy claims to be a redneck, so he also can poke fun using the stereotypes of what many people call "trailer trash."
The people are depicted as dumb, toothless, crude and ill mannered. In only a few pages, he manages to hit just about every stereotype. My favorite is on page 32, where he says, "You might be a redneck if your Thanksgiving dinner was ever ruined because you ran out of ketchup." I found some of them mildly humorous, but most of them were a bit silly. I thought the dumbest one was "You might be a redneck if you think Volvo is part of a woman's anatomy." Foxworthy's humor does little for me, but that might just be personal taste. Therefore, if you like this kind of humor, you will probably bust a gut when reading this book. However, if your tastes are more towards intelligent humor, it will probably just bore you.
