    Hate to be the one to break it to you, but the source for this is NOT Foxworthy. It's a take-off or spook of Foxworthy's classic "might be a redneck" that's been floating around the web for a long time. It IS funny, though!

    My kids have been out for over 10 years and sometimes still forget my birthday- But I don't buy it for one minute- you see my son and I have the same birthday. I think that the JW cheapness has still stuck to them a little. They have no problem celebrating their own birthdays either. This year I have made up special magnetic calendars for all of us that have all our birthdays on them- no excuses for 2007.

    I've read these on jw forums. Personally I think this is another jw urban legend; I don't believe Foxworthy really made up these jokes.

    This one has me laughing. Cant you just see them sticking tracts in the displays?
