Save Me The Neck Clark

Back in the 1600's the Scots were some kind of serious about making England a Calvinist Government rather than Anglican. Thousands of them signed a covenant proclaiming their desire. Some cut themselves and signed with their own blood. Some wore red cloth or scarves about their necks to identify with the Presbyterian church. These were the first "Rednecks" according to some yarn spinners. Others say it was coal miners striking in West Virginia wearing the crimson rag. Sounds like the miners are left in the dark on first dibs.

All this time I thought the first one was my ole buddy Roy Gene.
He's definitely blue collar.
