MICHIGANDERS... according to Jeff Foxworthy:
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in Michigan.
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't even work there, you may live in Michigan.
If you've worn shorts and a jacket at the same time, you may live in Michigan.
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Michigan.
If "vacation" means going anywhere North of Grand Rapids for the weekend, you may live in Michigan.
If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Michigan.
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Michigan.
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you may live in Michigan.
If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging bliz zard without flinching, you may live in Michigan.
If you install security lights on yo ur house and garage, but leave both doors unlocked, you may live in Michigan.
If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Michigan.
If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Michigan.
If the speed limit on the highway is 70 mph -you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in Michigan.
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Michigan.
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Michigan.
If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may live in Michigan.
If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Michigan.
If you actually understand these jokes, repost this so all of your Michigan friends and others can see, you definitely do live - or have lived - in Michigan.

    You understand that when visiting Detroit, the best thing to wear is a Kevlar vest.

    You know what a Yooper is.

    And, of course, you hate Ohio State!

    disagree. He is one of the top players in football. He just isn't a quarterback.
