    New York takes the cake though, I mean do you know how many times i've heard "WOW SO LIKE, WHAT'S IT LIKE LIVING IN SUCH A BUSTLING CITY? DO YOU RANDOMLY MEET CELEBRITIES?"

    Becuase you know, apparently New York = New York City.

    Exactly! I'm in Rochester. NOT New York City, but no one has a clue that there are other places in NY... It is a BIG state people!

    THEM: "Ohhhhh, you're from Texas! How many cows do you have?"

    ME: "If I keep eating steak at this rate, I'd say 3 huge *kitten* ones by now" *eyeroll*

    As soon as someone finds out I'm from Alabama I get bombarded with Forrest Gump jokes & one-liners. Very, very original, folks ;)

    Also... I now live in a city called Tuscaloosa. It's often referred to as T-Town. That's just not very interesting and bordering on annoying whenever I hear or read it.

    ETA: Regarding the Gump jokes... I guess it's irresistible since I'm Jennie & from AL. Just gets so f'ing old.

    And of course when people learn you're from Alabama they automatically assume you're an Alabama fan.....

    Take a look at my username people... War Eagle Baby! (that's Auburn University for those that don't know)

    "So, you're from Missour-a?" No, I'm from Missouri"

    There's an "i" on the end not an "a" or an "uh". Thanks George W. for getting it wrong every time.

    I was out in Northern California visiting family last summer and a server at a P.F. Changs noticed my obvious southern accent.

    She asked where I was from and I said Alabama. "Ah yes!" she exclaimed "Alabama! Roll tide!!, Right?!"

    No. not Roll Tide.. you just said that to a table full of Auburn Alumni... :ohwell:

    We laughed and corrected her, and she gave us a "War Eagle", even though, I think she had no clue what that meant. :laugh:

    You live in Pittsburgh? What do you think about what so-and-do did on that play during the [Steeler] game last week/yesterday?

    Um...I don't watch football, so I don't have a clue.

    Iowa...Oh thats where they grow potatoes. Or Iowa do you eat anything other than corn?

    Or "Do you live on a farm?" No I was born in the city. "They have cities in the middle of corn fields?" Yes believe it or not we are not all Children of the Corn.

    I don't believe it for a second!! :smokin:
