Great Moments In Redneck History #3 (Skit)
[Skit]
Hello, everybody, and good evening
This is great moments in redneck history
In the summer of 1951
Raymond White was cuttin' grass for a nickle a yard
Tryin' to buy a complete set of Topps blueback baseball cards
Because of school, he could only cut while on summer break
So he needed to figure out how to cut more yards at a faster pace
He thought and thought, and then it hit him
He removed his front wheel off his bicycle
Duct taped a push lawn mower to the handle bars
And just like that, he had invented the first ridin' lawn mower
He was cuttin' five times the yards he was cuttin' last summer
He had his baseball card collection finished before school even started back
He was the most popular card trader on the playground for the next four years
He even patented his invention
And sold it to the John Deere Corporation
For seventy-three thousand dollars and change
And this has been another great moment in redneck history
