Tom, Lee and all other natives of Minnesota:

No disrespect intended, but my brother-in-law (who lives in Minnesota) passed this on to me, so I had to share.

You know you're from Minnesota when.....

1. Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a tractor.
2. "Vacation" means going to Brainerd for the weekend.
3. You measure distance in hours.
4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
5. You often switch from "heat" to "a/c" in the same day.
6. You use a down comforter in the summer.
7. Your grandparents drive 65 mph through 13 feet of snow during a blizzard, without flinching.
8. You see people wearing hunting clothes to social events.
9. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both doors unlocked.
10. You think of the major food groups as venison, walleye, and Leinenkugels.
11. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.
12. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the grocery storeat any given time.
13. You design your kids Halloween costume to fit over a snow suit.
14. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
15. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel p.j.'s.
16. You know all four seasons; almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.
17. It takes you 3 hours to go to the store for one item even when you're in a rush because you have to stop to talk to everyone in town.
18. You actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your friends from Minnesota.

I also have an application for Minnesotazenship if anyone is interested!
