Are you aware that Jeff Foxworthy is now picking on Michigan? Read on.
(pretty funny and acurate)


1. If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through
18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Michigan.


2. If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights
each year because Pellston is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Michigan.


3. If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you
might live in Michigan.


4. If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the
year, you might live in Michigan.


5. If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in
Michigan.


6. If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of
his forehead, you might live in Michigan.


7. If you have worn shorts and a coat at the same time, you might live in Michigan.


8. If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might
live in Michigan.


9. If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who
dialed a wrong number, you might live in Michigan.
