A different poll question...

I saw the question posted previously, possibly by a troll, but hey... asking about how many guns, politics, etc... Not surprisingly, TFL posters tend to be male owners of multiple firearms, and supporters of the Republican or Libertarian parties...

So, let's bust a stereotype here...

1) How far can you spit tobacco juice?
2) Did your house have wheels at one time?
3) Did you drive a truck _before_ the SUV craze?
4) What did you do for a living before you appeared on the Jerry Springer show?

Now, let's be just slightly serious, and sorry, but just a little nosy, here...
A) Level of education:
B) Approximate family income

Some folks need to realize that gun folks are NOT the trailer trash rednecks that the media paints us as being...

I'll answer first...

1) a long way, but it involves projectile vomit, due to tobacco juice...
2) Apartment in the center of a metro area, but semi-seriously considering a trailer in the boonies as a step up... Neighbors may be nicer... My neighbors don't go on Springer - They're on Cops...
3) Little Japanese car, but wanted a jeep. Now own a car and a truck.
4) Graphic Artist/Designer

A) Bachelor's degree
B) Over $40K
 
Ok. I'll bite just for fun.

1. Don't chew tobacco.
2. No. House in Dallas suburbs. 2400sf.
3. No. I drive Sedan's. Right now a Honda Accord.
4. Project Manager

A) Master's
B) Over $110,000
 
This seems harmless enough, compared to the other poll.

1. Never tried chewing tobacco.
2. Never lived in a trailer. I like a basement.
3. I need a small pickup for my business, but my wife's Saturn is the primary four-wheeled mode of transport.
4. Photographer.

1. Bachelor's degree.
2. Income varies, from $40,000 to $90,000. Unfortunately, on the low end this year.

2) Yes, but they got in the way of the skirts, so I had to take them off.

2. Yes, several times in the past, but not right now. May live in a doublewide again sometime, who knows. For now, medium size (2200 sq. ft.) house in NW Houston suburbs.
3. First truck I owned was a brand new 1974 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT, and I've owned several P/Ups since then of different sizes and vintages. Bought my first and only SUV in 1995. When it falls apart I'm going back to a standard sized pickup.
4. Was never on Springer, and I've really only ever seen a few bits and pieces. My current job title is Senior IT Analyst, and it's only one of many I've worn.

A. Master of Science in Geology.

I'll bite.

1) How far can you spit tobacco juice?

Never tried it. And now 3 weeks off the evil smoking habit. Still miss 'em though.

2) Did your house have wheels at one time?

Nope. Never too late to add them.

3) Did you drive a truck _before_ the SUV craze?

Nope. Drove sedans/sports cars whole life. Seems my cars are getting bigger each trade in. If I traded in the Jeep today I'd probably get an S class mercedes with the dual pane windows. Talk about quiet...

4) What did you do for a living before you appeared on the Jerry Springer show?

Distilled corn liquor, ummm, no, I uhh, Jerry who?


A) Level of education:

9th grade (not a joke)

I guess I'm the only *white trash* on the board :).

1. Don't chew, I do smoke but am trying to kick that habit. As a kid, I did work in the tobacco fields.

2. Yep. Grew up in the boonies in a double wide. Dad was retired military, so no big money there. With house prices now days and with all the homes being the same square box as your neigbors, MoHo's are not that bad of an option.

3. Could never afford a truck or SUV. Had a friend that had one (an SUV) that I've driven, does this count?

4. Ex-military - Looking. Never did like ol' Jerry or his show.

A. High School - graduated but it was from a govn't school so that's equal to about 6th grade. Some college in/from being in military, so about 1yr worth.

B. Income at this moment is about equal to the base pay of our Mexican neighbors. I'm in the market for a job if anyone has an opening (but it has to be in Oregon so I can take care of my Mom).

BUT, I don't have any old washing machines in the yard and I'm not on welfare so I guess I'm not the lowest form of *trash*... but I'm working on it :).

1. I can spit watermellon seeds about 10 feet.

2. Wheels on a Home?? Umm NO!

3. Only on weekends, if I am visiting my Grandpaw

4. I know someone that was on there, does that count?

A. College!
B. More than my dad makes! (He hates that!)
