1 Us Farmers.....

Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners
and Californians cross states such as Ohio, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa,
Missouri, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana
and Kentucky; those states' Tourism Councils have adopted a set of
information guidelines. In an effort to help outsiders understand the
Midwest, the following list will be handed to each driver entering the
state:
1. That farm boy standing next to the feed bin did more work before
breakfast than you do all week at the gym.
2. It's called a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going
to get dust on your Navigator. I have a four-wheel drive because I need it.
Drive it or get it 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 Orvis 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. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.
7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final
approach, we will shoot 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 can bring Coke into my house but it better be brown, wet, and served
over ice.
11. So you have a sixty-thousand dollar car you drive on 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. Don't like it?
Interstates 70, 80, and 90 go two ways - Interstates 29, 35, and 75 go the
other two. Pick one and use it accordingly.
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 waves. It's called being friendly.
Understand the concept?
18. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit the ball into 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 and go home.
