Jeff Foxworthy on Michigan
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Michigan.
If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Pelston is the coldest spot in the nation, you might livein Michigan.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Michigan
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Michigan.
If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Michigan.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Michigan.
If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Michigan.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Michigan.
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Michigan.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Michigander WHEN:
1. "Vacation" means going up north past US-75 for the weekend.
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including weddings).
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.
9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
10. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
11. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
12. You can identify a southern or eastern accent.
13. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.
14. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.
15. Down South to you means Indiana.
16. A brat is something you eat.
17. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.
18. You go out to fish fry every Friday.
19. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
20. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
21. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."
22. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Michigan friends.
Just a little funny to start the week! Hope you enjoyed...... (sad but true, I have participated in many of these items! LOL)

This list was more hilarious now that I have been to MI!
It was odd that they sell connected hotdogs in the deli at the grocery store...
I love MI!
Were you able to get some Faygo while you were here???
LOL Sherri - You crack me up. Although I don't live in Michigan, I live in a neighboring state - Illinois! And yes, our Dairy Queens are also closed from November until March - LOL! :-)
Holy crap that's funny stuff. I love the tan line on your father's forehead one!
