Can we add these knucklenecks?

I found Sunday’s edition featuring “You might be a ‘knuckleneck’ if…” very entertaining.
However I must disagree with Mr. Field’s definition of and what constitutes a “knuckleneck.” Some of these people are considered intelligent, are gainfully employed, and fit well into society. Please allow me to add a few other possible examples to this (elite?) group of people.
If you don’t know when to take your children/grandchildren out of church when they are misbehaving and disrupting church services, you might be a knuckleneck!
If you think its OK to park in a handicap parking space even though the handicapped person is not in the car with you, you might be a knuckleneck!
If you think you are supposed to blow your horn continuously to get some one to answer the door instead of ringing the door bell, you might be a knuckleneck!
If you think you are suppose to block the aisle with your shopping cart while talking to your friend, you might be a knuckleneck!
If you are driving and talking on you cell phone while flipping cigarette ashes out the window, you might be a knuckleneck! (By the way, how are you steering your car?)
If you flip someone off because they blew their horn at you because you pulled out in front of them, you might be a knuckleneck!
If you blow your horn as soon as the light turns green so the person in front you will move on, you might be a knuckleneck!
If you need instructions on how to wear your baseball cap, you might be a knuckleneck!
If you park improperly at the Natchez Post Office, you might be a knuckleneck!
I’m sure if everyone thinks hard enough, they can add on to this list.
Maybe everyone can send additional examples of “You might be a knuckleneck!” to The Natchez Democrat and they will publish more examples of this (elite) group.
And don’t forget, If you drive your car while in a prone position, you might be a knuckleneck!
