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 thenational news 96
nights each year because Pelston is the coldest spot in the
nation, you might live in 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.

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.

forward them to all your Michigan friends.

I grew up in Michigan and I can relate to a lot of those......

The one thing I discovered about Friday fish fries is that they have been largely replaced by bingo at the various lodges as a means of money makers......sad......nothing like a good fish fry with local fresh yellow perch and walleye....
