If your joke is an offence to a class of people, it is an offence to all of society.
I don't mean to make the conversation more serious than it really is, but if you'll think about what you just said, you'll realise you don't really mean it.

Not sure how I feel about that.
I guess the people who say things like that haven't met the Langhornes or the Rockefellers, who have quite a few family members in West Virginia.
Do you know where having to marry your cousins actually comes from?
Many southern dynasties, like their British and European counterparts, have dynastic rules that require the children to marry an equal.
These families basically have no equals outside their close lineage in the Blue Book, so they will often find themselves marrying third cousins or thereabouts.
So, you see, you're making fun of a class of people you could never even aspire to be a part of.

I love WV... one of those few places I can take a drive down a back road and find vast empty spaces.
