[gungirl65]

I came across this on FB and thought is was worth sharing. I have no clue if Jeff Foxworthy actually said these things but they are still funny even if he didn't.

Jeff Foxworthy said(?) this about Indiana:

**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 jacket 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 Fort Wayne for the weekend, 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 two feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Indiana.

Well....a number of those sounded like they may be written for another state...a cold, snowy state. But this one is oh-so-true!

*If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Indiana.

Love it!

 

[HoughMade]

Pretty sure Foxworthy didn't say them....and hate to say that with only slight differences, they've been applied to numerous locales.

....and that one about driving 75 mph in 2 feet of snow? BS. I've lived in Indiana since 1995 and the drivers of this state know nothing about driving in snow compared to my native Michigan. Every year, it's like Indiana drivers are seeing the stuff for the first time.

Every year, it's like Indiana drivers are seeing the stuff for the first time.

That's certainly true down in the southern IN. It's almost as bad as when drivers in my home state of Tennessee see snow.

Could have been Foxworthy ...but then, most all of them apply to Michigan.

Funny thing too ...you know the saying "If you don't like the weather around here, wait five minutes"? I've heard that pretty much everywhere I've ever been for any length of time. Every time I hear someone say that I have to laugh just a little.

 

[sig-guy]

I agree with most of those and can relate to them as well.

Helping in stores... check!
Coat with shorts... check!
Driving fast in snow... check!
Distance in hours... check!
Conversation with wrong number... check!
Carry jumpers... check!
Smoother roads during winter... check!

^^^^ Loved this one! ^^^^

This has been around for years and years. I think it was originally about Michigan and then gets other states substituted in.

I've helped people load stuff onto carts or into a vehicle the last few times I've been to Lowes.

Lincoln was an enlightened dude.

 

[IN50]

Funny. Several apply to me

 

[xdmdude]

Some apply to me but when i originally read this on FB i lol'd my rear off.

 

[wolfman]

Not sure about all of them, but I have seen several of those on reruns of his comedy specials.
