Default OT If You Come to the Midwest,Know This

We ahve all of these rules in Idaho too. I think we're a little more
militant about them though.

Bi-Coastal Boobs - If You Come to the Midwest, Know This

Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners and
Californians cross into states such as Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, the
Tourism Councils in those states have adopted a new policy. In an effort
to
help outsiders understand the rural Midwesterner's mind, the following
list will
be handed to each person as they enter the states.

1. That slope-shouldered farm body did more work before breakfast than you
do all week at the gym.

2. It's called a "gravel road". No matter how slow you drive, you're going
to get dust on your Navigator. I have a four wheel drive because I need
it.
Drive it or get it out of the way.

3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah,
we
shot Bambi, we got over it.

4. Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get you
whipped...by our women.

5. Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us when a
flathead breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little 13
inch trout
you fish for - "bait".

6. Pull your pants up. You look like an Idiot.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their
final
approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your
ear
at the time.

8. That's right, whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what
you
paid in the airport for one drink.

9. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it
rare.Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham
and
turkey. Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of
sugar and a long spoon.

10. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over
ice.

11. So, you have a sixty thousand dollar car. We're real impressed. We
have
quarter of a million dollar combines that we use four weeks a year.

12. Let's get it straight. We have one stop light in town. We stop when
it's
red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

13. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks - because they want to. So,
you're a feminist. Isn't that cute.

14. Yeah, we eat catfish, carp too - and turtle. Your really want sushi
and
caviar? It's available at the bait shop.

15. They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like
it?
Interstate 69 goes two ways. State Road 24 goes the other two. Pick one
and
use it accordingly.

16. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious
holiday. You can get breakfast at the church.

17. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly.
Understand the concept?

18. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards. It spooks
the fish.

19. That Officer, be it Conservation Officer, sheriff deputy, city police,
orhighway patrol that just pulled you over for driving like an idiot - his
name is
"Sir".
