The Big Mac is something that you drive across.

 

You believe that "down south" means Toledo.

 

You bake with soda and drink pop.

 

You drive 75 on the highway and you pass on the right. That's because all the yahoo's from Ohio are driving in the left lane because they feel free after leaving their home state!! :lol:

 

Your Little League baseball game was snowed out.

 

You learned how to drive a boat before you learned how to ride a bike.

 

You know how to pronounce "Mackinac". Mac IN AWWW

 

The word "thumb" has a geographical rather than an anatomical significance.

 

You have experienced frostbite and sunburn in the same week.

 

You expect Vernor's when you order ginger ale.

 

You know that Kalamazoo not only exists, but that it isn't far from Hell.

 

Your favorite holidays are Christmas, Thanksgiving, the opening of deer season and Devil's Night.

 

Your snowmobile, lawn mower and fishing boat all have big block Chevy engines.

 

At least one person in your family disowns you for the week of the Michigan/Michigan State football game.

 

You know what a millage is.

 

Traveling coast to coast means driving from Port Huron to Muskegon.

 

Half the change in your pocket is Canadian, eh.

 

You show people where you grew up by pointing to a spot on your left hand.

 

You know what a "Yooper" is. _I don't know this, is this new since I moved? :blink:

 

Your car rusts out before you need the brakes done

 

Half the people you know say they are from Detroit... yet you don't personally know anyone who actually lives in Detroit

 

"Up North" means north of Clare.

 

You know what a pastie is. So many good Cornish pasties back home. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

 

You occasionally cheer "Go Lions- and take the Tigers with you."

 

Snow tires come standard on all your cars.

 

At least 25% of your relatives work for the auto industry.

 

You don't understand what the big deal about Chicago is. :lol:

 

Octopus and hockey go together as naturally as hot dogs and baseball.

 

You know more about chill factors and lake effect than you'd EVER like to know!

 

Your snowblower has more miles on it than your car.

 

Shoveling the driveway constitutes a great upper body workout.

 

When giving directions, you refer to "A Michigan Left."

 

You know when it has rained because of the smell of worms.

 

You never watch the Weather Channel - you can just assume they're wrong.

 

The snowmen you make in your front yard actually freeze. Solid.

 

The snow freezes so hard that you can actually walk across it and not break it or leave any marks.

 

All your shoes are called "tennis shoes", even though no one here plays tennis anyway.

 

Your major school field trip includes camping and cross-country skiing.

 

Half your friends have a perfect sledding hill right in their own backyard.

 

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Michigan.

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 actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Florida.

 

Yeah, the struck by lightning one... indirect strike: 1) hit a street sign about 15 feet away from them: that would be me. 2) hit indirectly while they were using a weed eater in their yard: my mom. 3) watched a couple cars get hit by lightning while they were on the highway.

 

I guess Floridians might not shrug off too many more hurricane warnings after last year's season.

 

Fat men in speedos... correction men in general wearing speedos... * gag, going to lose my lunch now* :blink:

 

ptthhh!!! :lol: I only own ONE pair of flip flops thank you. lol

 

When it rains, yeah it can get pretty swampy here. And my former high school?? Oh definately!

 

Not exactly sick of Disney, but it is not a push to go to any of the theme parks down in that area... save for maybe Wet & Wild or Wild Waters when it gets a little bit warmer.

 

Never drank a flaming aligator, but then again I do not drink alcohol...save for maybe a single sip of a wine on a very very very very rare occasion.

 

 

And where I was born.. and have been back to a few times.

You Know You're From Miami When...

The police shoot you for pointing a "walkman" radio at anybody.

 

The police shoot you 27 times for putting your hand in a sock and waving it at everybody.

 

The police draw their weapons and shoot someone with a red dot laser pointing device, (even if it's not mounted atop a gun).

 

The police shoot you for pointing a water-pistol at them.

 

The police rear-end your car and give you a ticket for going too slow.

 

You rent a car and the first toll you pay is to the thief waiting around the corner.

 

You rent a car, ask someone for directions, then get mugged.

 

You rent a car, get on the expressway and get shot for passing somebody.

 

You exit the expressway downtown and someone forces you to pay them for cleaning your clean windshield.

 

You check into a Hotel, call room service and have someone answer, "Ju espeek Espanis"?

 

You ask someone for directions and they reply, "parlez vous frances" in Spanish.

 

You go downtown and buy a great camera for $99, then discover that you must pay at least another $1,000 for the rest of it.

 

You pay the extra $1,000 then get home and find a little sticker on the underside that reads "refurbished".

 

You hail a cab and ask to be taken to an American restaurant and the driver just stares at you.

 

You sail away on a starlight cruise and it rains all night.

 

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Miami.
