Always Remember Where You Came From....

I thought several of you readers may be able to relate to this.....ENJOY!

If you grew up in the Midwest, then….

You know how to polka, but have never tried it sober.
You know what knee-high by the Fourth of July means.
You know it is traditional for the bride and groom to go bar hopping between the reception
and wedding dance.
You know the difference between “green” and “red” farm machinery, and would fight with
your friends on the playground over which was better!
You buy Christmas presents at Fleet Farm.
You spent more on beer & liquor that you did on food at your wedding.
You hear someone use the word ‘uff-da’ and don’t break into uncontrollable laughter.
You or someone you know was a ‘Dairy Princess’ at the county fair.
You know that ‘combine’ is a noun.
You let your older siblings talk you into putting your tongue on a steel post in the middle of
winter.
You think Lutheran and Catholic are THE major religions.
You know that ‘creek’ rhymes with ‘pick’.
Football schedules, hunting season, and harvest, are all taken into consideration before
wedding dates are set.
A Friday night date is getting a six-pack and taking your girlfriend shining for deer.
Saturday you go to your local bowling alley.
There was at least one, if not several, in your class who had to help milk cows in the
morning.
You have driven your car on the lake.
Every wedding dance you have ever been to has the hokey-pokey and the chicken dance.
Your definition of a small town in one that only has one bar.
The local gas station sells live bait.
At least twice a year some part of your home doubles as a meat processing plant.
You think that the start of deer season is a national holiday.
You actually understand these jokes….

I feel compelled to distance myself from this posting. I think my wife has lost it living up here on "DA RANGE". Honey, we'll talk about it when you get home.

Jason is in denial. I know he has maybe done some of them or knows people who have! :)
