Jeff Foxworthy was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He is an American comedian and actor who is best known for his work as a stand-up comedian. He was a member of the class of 1979 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, but left his maintenance job at IBM (where his father also worked) after five years to become a full-time comedian. We have always enjoyed Jeff Foxworthy's humor, and a couple of years ago we went to see him in person at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. Standing outside waiting for the doors to open, we were amused at the varying attire of the attendees. First of all, the Fox Theatre is the most elegant place in town, so we saw a few evening gowns. But Jeff Foxworthy is a casual kind of guy, always wearing blue jeans and cowboy boots, so we saw quite a lot of jeans. Then there was the rowdy redneck crowd with their overalls and NASCAR t-shirts.
He was great in person, ending the show with his trademark redneck jokes, quite a few we qualify for -
You might be a redneck if…
You have a complete set of salad bowls and they all say cool whip on the side
You use the term 'over yonder' more than once a month
There is a puddle in your driveway year-round
Directions to your house include "turn off the paved road"
