I got this email today as I was hunkered down with the kids on a snow day. You may have already seen it. If not, enjoy the laugh, and pass it on.
Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Hoosiers…I think his wife is from around Bloomington.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in Indiana.
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don’t even work there, you may live in Indiana.
If you’ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Indiana.
If you’ve had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Indiana.
If “vacation” means going anywhere south of Muncie for the weekend, you may live in Indiana.If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Indiana.
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Indiana.
If you have switched from ‘heat’ to ‘A/C’ in the same day and back again, you may live in Indiana.
If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Indiana.
If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both doors unlocked, you may live in Indiana.
If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Indiana.
If you design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Indiana.
If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph - you’re going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in Indiana.
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Indiana.
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Indiana.
If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may live in Indiana.
If you find 10 degrees “a little chilly”, you may live in Indiana.
If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your Indiana friends & others, you definitely do live – or have lived – in Indiana.
Amen! I'm not sure if these actually came from Jeff Foxworthy or not, but some might say that Indiana does have a certain redneck ring to it. And those of us who live in Indiana can appreciate the humor...only because they're so true. :)
I got those a few years back in an email. Still love them, still very mid-west and on target, but I hear the Foxworthy authorship is just urban legend.
