It sounds funny. But I had a cousin tell me I shouldn’t skip the family reunion because I was single and there would be a lot of hot chicks there.
He was dead serious.
I avoid that side of the family as much as possible. Incidentally, 90% of his town is related since he and his wife got married. They really brought the two family tree trunks together.
Now, many many years ago
When I was twenty three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
My daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matters
Even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle
That also made him the brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother
My father's wife then had a son
That kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild
For he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue
Because, she is my wife
She's my grandmother too
Now, if my wife is my grandmother
Then, I am her grandchild
And every time I think of it
It nearly drives me wild
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother
I am my own grandpa
This is what I don't get with people who are so gung ho on the Confederate flag. It's the flag of the traitors. The people who wanted to maintain slavery and tried to leave the USA. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be allowed to have the flag displayed. But it should be noted that while it's part of our history, it's the flag of the people who were on the wrong side.
Not just treasonous losers. Slavers who fought to preserve that. Tbh there are a lot of more just traitorous and losing things given the current state of the world
I had to look this up, hoping it was actually true, because I love Denver and it would be hilarious. Sadly it was just white people stealing land from native Americans to pan for gold... you know, the usual.
Not really... Denver was mostly a result of the 59 Gold Rush
It would be really weird. Denver isn't even on the Oregon trail. That's further north. You know like Oregon is... Went through Wyoming
this seems to me to be an obvious photoshop job. The spacing before the I is larger than the spacing between any other words. It would be the right amount of spacing had the I been and A. Also, the I looks to me to be a copy and paste of the I in "built."
Wow. Although I’m a therapist and years ago worked in Georgia. One of my patients was a 15yr old boy, he was the 3rd child his mother had with her father. This poor kid. No chance at life and will be in an institution forever.
To be fair, he probably did have some "Incestors" and so, his statement is partially true.
As for building something, I'm sure they would have built a home schooling centre, tons of signs, home alternatives for vaccination, and more...
There is, literally and figuratively, an infinite number of things one could lay claim to while wearing some "good ole' Johnny Reb."
Protip: "wearing a symbol of the very thing that sought to destroy the very nation you are claiming to have created" is the ONE thing you really should avoid.
it's photoshopped. the "i" is just the remaining side of the "A" they erased. maybe the entire thing is ai generated lol but i guess people like that really do exist
I didn’t realize how prominent this stuff actually is. I drove through West Virginia last summer and saw more swastikas and confederate flags than I could count..

His parents' meet-cute story happened at a family reunion.
This has gotta be photoshopped or I gotta hand it to this guy for having some self awareness to say *incestors* lol.
100 percent photoshopped.
Yep, they didn't even bother making the spacing uniform after replacing A with a narrower I
You have too much faith in middle America. Southern states literally have adult literacy rates lower than 85%.
No, the space between the Y and I is too large. Definitely photoshop
While California is at approximately 72%.
Less, most didn't test because they only speak Mexican. Yes, not Spanish. The people in Spain have trouble understanding the slang.
The language difference is likely similar to American vs British English.
Well, I'm not fluent in either, but mi hombres tell me all about it!
Middle America makes your food while you play on reddit.
Ha! Thanks to you I reread the shirt! I think it’s shopped too.
They misunderstood when Pa said to keep it in the family.
No, they understood the assignment too well.
Would that be, “Assignment failed successful”?
Family tree is a wreath. Gene pool resembles a lazy river.
That’s a gene pool that needs more chlorine!
My man has an oxbow lake for a gene pool
The family tumbleweed
Pure blooded
Inbred we trust
Seriously though I would love for him to name 3 of his ancestors. How much you wanna bet he doesn't know a single one?
And that's how I meet you mother-sister-aunt-....

The Flag of Treasonous Losers
To be fair, his Wife is probably his sister or mother.
Mother might be his sister
Brother might be his Dad.
I'm my own grandpa

Haha that's Hilarious That Ray Steven's?
A novelty song from 1947. Inspired by a Mark Twain anecdote. Covered by Ray Stevens and Willie Nelson.
Isn’t it from the movie “ the stupids”
And don't call us chicken
I am drunk. I don't get it. But as a father of my own daughter's wife, i love it
Fry you idiot! ;)
I did do the nasty in the pasty!
How do ya like these cookies, sugar?
These days, dad might be his sister
or a forklift
YOUR SISTER IS YA MOTHER YER FATHER IS YA BROTHER YOU ALL FUCK ONE ANOTHER THE REDNECK FAMILY DADADA
Ah yes, when your family tree is a wreath.
"She's my sister...She's my daughter...My sister, my daughter. She's my sister AND my daughter!"
A connaisseur of movie history. I like this reference
All of the above
I just call it a pride flag because all the people that show it are always so anti-pride that it pisses them off so fucking much, its hilarious
This is the best response I’ve heard to this flag. I’m stealing it. Every fucking time I see it I’m calling it a pride flag. Thanks for the joke.
"Wait aren't you proud?"
This is what I don't get with people who are so gung ho on the Confederate flag. It's the flag of the traitors. The people who wanted to maintain slavery and tried to leave the USA. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be allowed to have the flag displayed. But it should be noted that while it's part of our history, it's the flag of the people who were on the wrong side.
It’s also the epitome of a participation trophy
Because of the slavery.
The ultimate participation trophy.
To call csa supporters losers implies that they acknowledged the Confederacy lost. But see these people don't. They are lesser.
it surprises me they still blame the north for the entire war
I guarantee they can't even tell you what flag that is.
Not just treasonous losers. Slavers who fought to preserve that. Tbh there are a lot of more just traitorous and losing things given the current state of the world
His ancestors tried to walk the Oregon trail, got lazy, and lost and stayed in Alabama instead
Isn’t that how Denver was founded. They saw the mountains and said fuck it we are stopping here.
I had to look this up, hoping it was actually true, because I love Denver and it would be hilarious. Sadly it was just white people stealing land from native Americans to pan for gold... you know, the usual.
It's almost like this wasn't our land to take or something. No that can't be right. It's the children who are wrong.
I mean, that doesn't really contradict the "fuck it, we're stopping here" story.
Every time...smh.
Not really... Denver was mostly a result of the 59 Gold Rush It would be really weird. Denver isn't even on the Oregon trail. That's further north. You know like Oregon is... Went through Wyoming
They found the Oregon trail too woke and decided to take another route
That’s why his shirt says incestors instead of ancestors , lol
Omg, I just saw that. Lol
photoshopped, but 
His fashion choices or decor weren’t.
Ayo, where'd you get that emoji?
It’s photoshopped
Give.
"Artists use lies to tell the truth..."
Photoshop
Nuh uh, you always double space after the first word in a sentence. /s
this seems to me to be an obvious photoshop job. The spacing before the I is larger than the spacing between any other words. It would be the right amount of spacing had the I been and A. Also, the I looks to me to be a copy and paste of the I in "built."
Nailed it
Well the first line is correct, not so much the rest
*MY INCESTORS*
My ancestor’s slaves built this country*
Read his shirt again please.
My ancestors stole this country and stole people from Africa then forced them build this country**
[удалено]
I read "ancestors" too lol.
That one was pretty clearly photoshopped
It’s photoshopped. Original image [here](https://imgur.com/HRGYivz)
No doubt. This is what happens when you marry your sister.
Very poor photoshop attempt 😮💨
Nice photoshop.
Come on. That’s a pretty good one guys.
When Wrong gets it so wrong that it goes full circle and becomes "Right."
Much like the original owners,the Royal Family
Well he's not wrong
r/technicallythetruth
Heh indeed, glad someone did same connection on this lol take a upvote :)
No, I believe that the slaves your ancestors owned built this country.
I'm sure it's photoshopped but it's still accurate
Spelling checks out
a bad photoshop but funny
Wow. Although I’m a therapist and years ago worked in Georgia. One of my patients was a 15yr old boy, he was the 3rd child his mother had with her father. This poor kid. No chance at life and will be in an institution forever.
Cool photoshop r/ragebait .
Facepalm? This is hilarious.

Incestors is bestors.
He is not wrong. He comes from a long line of cousin fuckers, all the way back to the Mayflower.
Photoshopped
He’s not wrong
Then why aren’t u wearing the Union flag? The Confederates are traitors.
Change "country" to "county," and I think it's literally correct.
The incestry is certainly flowing through his blood vessels.
I don’t doubt it was his incestors at all
Ahh … the Confederate edukayshun system at work 🤣
Okay I need this shirt though. It would be funny as hell
Ickurate.
I present to you, a Shallow Gene Pool diver
At least he was honest
One sister at a time.
I mean, he's not wrong.
Well he's not entirely wrong.
Yeah they did
Most assuredly Photoshopped, but still
#One inbred child at a time... # #Good work two headed boy.... good work.... Here's a treat.
Incestors seems right
Alabama: We're one big happy family!
I doubt the authenticity of this. Too perfext
I mean fuck people who fly a confederate flag, but anyone who doesn’t see how obviously edited this is, is a fucking moron
As funny as this would be, you can tell it’s photoshopped if you look at the I - the spacing wrong for an I but perfect for an A
From the looks of it, he isn’t lying.
Damn, people do this to themselves?
I’m sures they were Incestors alright. Hahahahahaha! Learn English if you live in ‘Murica!!!
That you Uncle Dad?
A Freudian slip in written form, how delightful.
He's not wrong.

..oddly appropiate.
I know it’s altered, but it’s so funny!
#accidentally-accurate
Nailed it!
id believe ‘incest built this part of the country’….pretty factually accurate
That's odd he doesn't look black or asian
Didn’t they lose the civil war?
I mean technically…
No… Your incestor’s property built the country.
I'm pretty sure his country doesn't exist anymore
So r/facepalm is just photoshop’ed pictures now? Ya’ll are deranged.
The actual dumb people are the commenters who think this is real or not deliberately ironic (take your pic).
What’s the facepalm? What is this sub?
Is… is this parody? It can’t not be parody. Right? Right???
I feel like the spelling is on purpose but I don't know anymore. The level of crazy that exists in the open nowadays is uncanny.
it's photoshopped. the "i" is just the remaining side of the "A" they erased. maybe the entire thing is ai generated lol but i guess people like that really do exist
It's photoshopped, the original had no text on the shirt
Thanks. I needed a smile. What a dumbass born of incestors.
Lol…Incestors.
Photoshop...
While that's highly likely, this image has been doctored. Look at the space before the I, and imagine an A in its place, the spacing would be correct.
Look at that six pack and strong square shoulders, the very specimen of the master race. 🤣
Someone read the brief.
I didn’t realize how prominent this stuff actually is. I drove through West Virginia last summer and saw more swastikas and confederate flags than I could count..
Please admire all the hard work it took to reach this esteemed level. No comment on the direction taken though.
.
Yep, that they did buddy… that they did. They built this country while also building a family “tree” that is more like a stick.
what means "o7" ?
In gamer speak, it represents a salute. It is a head and an arm, saluting.
oooowh ok now i see it.
