  • You Know You're From... When...

    You Know You're From Indiana When...
    You drive for three hours and the scenery outside doesn't change.
    There's three feet of snow on the ground and school is still in session.
    You only go to the mall once a year 'cause it takes too long to get there.
    While driving all you see is corn.
    People still have Christmas decorations up at Easter.
    You start saying to yourself "More than corn in Indiana my butt."
    Anyone with a cell phone looks out of place.
    Walking through Wal-Mart with two carts full of kids is normal.
    Anyone with a tan is rich.
    The hip hang-out place is McDonald's.
    There really is more than corn in Indiana. There’s soybeans, too.
    When you plan an orgy and a Euchre game breaks out.
    A restaurant has an invisible wall in the non-smoking section and you believe it works.
    Speeding consists of 2 miles over the speed limit.
    You think you don't have to use a turn signal on your car because you don't use it on your tractor.
    You build your dream house on a cornfield, and you considered it posh.
    You warsh your clothes and you think George Warshington was the first president.
    You're proud to be called a Hoosier, even if you don't know what one is.
    You have no problem spelling or pronouncing "Terre Haute"
    Detassling was your first job. Bailing hay, your second.
    You can stack hay, swim in the pond to clean off, and then have the strength to play a couple of games of hoops all in the same day.
    You say things like "catty-wumpus" and "kitty-corner".
    You own a dirtbike or a ATV.
    You live in a city ... and there's a cornfield in your backyard.
    High school basketball game draws a bigger crowd on the weekend nights than movie theaters.
    You can see at least 2 basketball hoops from your yard.
    You can name every one of Bob Knight's "exploits" over the last few years.
    You shop at Marsh.
    Damon Bailey was your childhood hero.
    The biggest question of your youth was "IU or Purdue?"
    Indianapolis is the "big city".
    "Getting caught by a train" is a legitimate excuse for being late to school.
    People at your high school chewed tobacco.
    Everyone knows who the town cop is, where he lives, and whether he is at home or on duty.
    You actually know what the CART vs IRL debate is about and have taken a side.
    To you, a raccoon is simply a "coon".
    The vehicle of choice in your area is not a car, but a pickup.
    Someone you know is BIG John Mellencamp fan.
    You've been to the Covered Bridge Festival.
    To you, a tenderloin is not an expensive cut of beef, but a big, salty, breaded piece of pork served on a bun with pickles.
    You call a green bell pepper a "mango".
    Sometimes, you call the toilet the "commode" or the "stool".
    In the fall, one of your favorite pranks was corning cars.
    You know what FFA and 4H stand for.
    You know what chip-and-seal is, and your high school was located on just such a road.
    You go the county fair every night of it's week-long duration.
    You can say "French Lick" without laughing out loud.
    There's actually a college near you named "Ball State."
    The last "g" is silent in any word ending in "ing."
    You think the state Bird is Larry.

      You Know You're From Florida When...
      You own at least five pairs of flip flops
      You know someone who's been struck by lightning
      You're more scared of the freaks who live down the street than gators
      Your backyard is sometimes a swamp
      You're officially sick of Disney
      You shrug off hurricane warnings
      You've been permanently blinded by fat men in speedos
      There are only two seasons - hot and hotter
      You've drank a flaming alligator.

                You Know You're From Montana When...
                You get passed when you are driving seventy five.
                The rodeo is the social event of the year.
                You tell North Dakota jokes.
                The pickup trucks all have two rifles and two big dogs.
                People you don't know smile and say "Howdy."
                Bumper stickers are about guns, horses or chewing tobacco.
                The only people wearing white shirts are out of town Lawyers
                Someone says manure spreader and you know it isn't the local congressman
                When the car in front of you is weaving, you suspect a farmer instead of a drunk
                You can actually pronounce the City's name Glasgow (Glasgo) without calling it Glascow
                Maps and gloves are kept in your vehicles "jockey box"
                You can choose plastic bags or a paper sacks for your groceries
                You have 10 favorite recipes for Elk meat.
                You can write a check at McDonald's for 2 Big Macs and fries.
                The most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun.
                The major county fund-raiser isn't bingo - it's sausage making.
                You attend a formal event in your best clothes, your finest jewelry, and your Sorels.
                You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Montana.

                      You Know You're From Britain When...
                      You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday day is also entirely reasonable.
                      You're always a half an hour late to work ... no-one notices or cares.
                      Coming to work with a hangover is entirely accepted and indeed expected at least once a week.
                      You can actually give directions to some of those annoying tourists in Oxford Street!
                      You step over a drunk in the tube station rather than offering to help them.
                      You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the day is like. You know it is overcast.
                      You consider a suit to be normal attire for the pub.
                      You expect men to actually cut, comb and style their hair (using hair products). And to wear decent clothes.
                      You dissolve in laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Aussie international telephone operator (or on TV!).
                      You think £40 for a haircut is quite reasonable.
                      You can't remember what 'customer service' means.
                      After a big night out you find yourself looking for a Curry house
                      More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive.
                      You don't think twice about tipping your hairdresser
                      You finish every sentence with 'Cheers' or 'Yeah'.
                      You only just realise you have lost your sunnies, you left them in Greece 2 summers ago.
                      You like English cuisine. I mean, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast.
                      You are on to your 6th umbrella and your second overcoat... this year
                      You've bought a disposable baby BBQ from Tesco.
                      A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head.
                      You always call soccer football and you have a team and it's not Manchester United.
                      You don't think twice about buying a packaged sandwich.
                      A sunny lunchtime means searching for a patch of grass and stripping off practically down to your underwear
                      You've accepted queuing as a way of life.
                      You believe that every American is a fatass addicted to hamburgers and hotdogs.
                      You despise the French (but then, who doesn't?).

                        You Know You're From London When...
                        You say "the city" and expect everyone to know which one.
                        You have never been to The Tower or Madame Tussauds but love Brighton.
                        You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Shepherds Bush to Elephant & Castle at 3:30 on the Friday before a long weekend, but can't find Dorset on a map.
                        Hookers and the homeless are invisible.
                        You step over people who collapse on the tube.
                        You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual.
                        You've considered stabbing someone.
                        Your door has more than three locks.
                        Your favourite movie has Hugh Grant in it.
                        You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression.
                        You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a garden.
                        You know where Karl Marx is buried.
                        You consider Essex the "countryside"
                        You think Hyde Park is "nature."
                        You're paying £1,200 a month for a studio the size of a walk-in wardrobe and you think it's a "bargain."
                        Shopping in suburban supermarkets and shopping malls gives you a severe attack of agoraphobia.
                        You've been to Tooting twice and got hopelessly lost both times.
                        You pay more each month to park your car than most people in the UK pay in rent.
                        You haven't seen more than twelve stars in the night sky since you went camping as a kid.
                        You own hiking boots and a 4WD vehicle, neither of which have ever touched dirt.
                        You haven't heard the sound of true absolute silence since 1977, and when you did, it terrified you.
                        You pay £3 without blinking for a beer that cost the bar 28p.
                        You actually take fashion seriously.
                        Being truly alone makes you nervous.
                        You have 27 different menus next to your telephone.
                        The UK west of Heathrow is still theoretical to you.
                        You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you.
                        You haven't cooked a meal since helping mum last Christmas with the turkey.
                        Your idea of personal space is no one actually standing on your toes.
                        £50 worth of groceries fit in one paper bag.
                        You have a minimum of five "worst cab ride ever" stories.
                        You don't hear sirens anymore.
                        You've mentally blocked out all thoughts of the city's air quality and what it's doing to your lungs.
                        You live in a building with a larger population than most towns.
                        Your cleaner is Russian, your grocer is Korean, your deli man is Israeli, your landlord is Italian, your laundry guy is Chinese, your favourite bartender is Irish, your favourite diner owner is Greek, the watch-seller on your corner is Senegalese, your last cabbie was Pakistani, your newsagent is Indian and your favourite falafel guy is Egyptian.
                        You wouldn't want to live anywhere else until you get married.
                        You say 'mate' constantly
                        Anyone not from London is a 'wanker'
                        Anyone from outside London and north of the Watford Gap is a 'Northern Wanker'
                        You have no idea where the North is.
                        You see All Saints in the Met Bar (again) and find it hard to get excited about it.
                        The countryside makes you nervous
                        Somebody speaks to you on the tube and you freak out thinking they are a stalker.
                        You talk in postcodes. "God, it was really warm round SW1 the other day"
