“REDNECKS & UNICORNS”…excerpt

But in reality, their innermost voice, their quiet train of thought, would be whispering ‘oh, yes, quite good’ (if they were British), or ‘about bloody time’ (if they were Canadian). If they were American, they may say ‘well, he had it comin’ to ‘em didn’t ya’ll?’
At some point it is common sense. Do you really need to vacation in the swamplands of Florida? Is there really a reason to drive through Arkansas instead of around it? And eastern Oregon doesn’t really have anything you can’t find in the rest of the USA. Don’t get me wrong, Canada has its fair share too. Go anywhere 45 minutes from a main urban centre and you’ll be looking for trouble.
You see Rednecks are a lot like horseflies. They bother you to no end on a hot summer day, but stay out of their domain and ultimately they are pretty docile. Now this is where things went horrible wrong. One day some Unicorns randomly showed up. Yes, Unicorns. Those mythical beasts with the horn in the middle of their heads. Some had wings, some did not, but all these Unicorns looked like rainbows and lollipops, and well the Rednecks did not take too much of a liking to ‘em, if ya know what I mean…..
