My wife and I disagree on something. Actually, two things. You see, I'm the kind of guy who likes to drink a beer. I don't just mean when we go to a bar. I mean I like to come home from work and drink a beer. Just one. Not to get drunk. The end goal is to finish a single beer. I don't get carried away with it, I just like to drink a beer. She doesn't like the idea of just having beer in the refrigerator for no reason. To her, the only reason to have beer in the house is if we're having people over to drink. And it isn't because she has a problem with alcohol. I get pretty drunk from time to time and it's perfectly okay. She just doesn't like the idea of sitting at home drinking a beer for no reason because to her, it's very white trashy. That's the first thing we disagree on. She doesn't like just having beer sitting in the fridge. I do. But since I'm the man, we have beer in the fridge.
So in response to her assertion that having beer in the fridge is very white trashy, I decided to point out the obvious. Maybe we're a little white trashy. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit around in his underpants drinking Bud Light (which is a little white trashy) and she married me, so she's guilty by association. This is the second thing we disagree on. I maintain that we are in fact a tad white trashy and she is in denial. The other day I went to Chipotle for lunch by myself. I had a burrito and a Bud Light. Now, call me crazy, but if I saw some other fat guy sitting in a Mexican restaurant by himself with a burrito and a Bud Light, I'd think, "That guy's pretty white trashy." And I'm okay with that. And while I'm at it, "Burrito and a Bud Light" sounds like a fabulous song. I'm totally going to have to write that now.
So to resolve this little disagreement, I decided to write one of my famous self-diagnosis tests such as The Asshole Test and The Hillbilly Test. The following is a series of multiple-choice questions, each with four choices. Pick the answer that best fits you. For each "A" answer, don't give yourself any points. For each "B" answer, give yourself 1 point. For each "C" answer, give yourself 5 points. For each "D" answer, give yourself 10 points. Count up your points at the end and see where you score.

If you scored 0-10...
Not White Trash.
Congratulations. You're safe.
If you scored 11-25...
A Little Trashy
You definitely have some trashy traits, but you are still likely able to function in normal society. Your trashiness is probably most evident when alcohol is involved. You could also be in this category by association with more serious white trash offenders. Just like...
And, for the record, me. I scored a 24, putting me in the same white trash category as Pamela Anderson and just barely shy of full-blown White Trash.
If you scored 26-50...
White Trash.
I'm sorry, but you're white trash. If it's any consolation, you could be even worse.

If you scored 51-100...
REALLY Trashy.
You've probably deluded yourself into believing you're really a "bad boy" but actually, you're just white trash. Just like...
![]()
If you scored 101 or more...
Waste Of A Human Life
The most serious kind of white trash. Far beyond normal white trash, people in this category probably go to great lengths to convince themselves they aren't white trash. They may not live in trailer parks or prisons, but as we see all the time with trashy celebrities, you can take the white trash out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the white trash. You can pretend all you want, but deep down, you're just trashy. Just like...
