Oh Wisconsin...

I read this on my little sisters facebook and wet my pants laughing. Maybe only my dear friends from home can truly appreciate this, but I'm sure everyone can get a good chuckle in. And yes, to some extent it is all true. This brought back some very good memories. :)

You know you are from Wisconsin if...
~Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
~You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
~You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition. Example: Where's my coat at?" or "If you go to town, I wanna go with."
~You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
~You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
~You define -20 degrees F "a little chilly."
~You know all four seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction.
~You know several people who have hit a deer.
~Your school classes were cancelled because of cold.
~You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way.
~You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
~You "borrow" your neighbor your snowblower and hope he returns it before the next storm. (And you don't know why there are quotation marks around the word borrow in that sentence.)
~You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" are.
~You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent. (Kristen Tutt that one is for you)
~You can make sense out the words upnort and Trivers.
~A brat is something you eat.
~You know that Eau Claire is not something you eat.
~You have no problem spelling Milwaukee.
~You can actually pronounce Oconomowoc.
~You've seen mosquitoes with landing lights.
~You define Summer as three months of bad sledding.
~You know it's traditional for the bride and groom to go bar hopping between the ceremony and the reception.
~You own at least one cheese head.
~A Friday night out is taking your girlfriend shining for deer.
