If your going to the Midwest...
I just got this e-mail from a friend in Wisconsin. I thought it was kinda funny.
Those of us in the Midwest realize that sometimes misunderstandings can develop when Easterners and Californians travel through our wonderful states. So, from now on, when entering our states, they will be handed the following Midwest Information Guide: 1. First of all, pull your pants up. You look like an idiot. 2. It's called a "dirt road". No matter how slow you drive, you are going to get dust on your Navigator. Drive it, or get out of the way. 3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah, we saw 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 Orivs Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a flathead catfish breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little trout you fish for...bait. 6. That farm boy standing next to the grain bin did more work before breakfast than you do all week at the gym...so think twice before making fun of his bib-overalls and greasy John Deere hat. 7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot at 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. 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 you drive on the weekends. We're real impressed. We have quarter of a million dollar combines that we use two weeks a year. 12. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight 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. You 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. 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 truck waves. It's called being friendly. What a concept. 18. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazard. It spooks the fish. 19. That Highway Patrol Officer that just pulled you over for driving like an idiot...his name is "Sir"... no matter how old he is. Now, enjoy your visit!!

Having been born and raised in Minnesota, I can say that they are all 100% correct. Too funny!
