Are you a HOOSIER?

[Dr_O]

Let's have some fun.

You have probably seen something like this before.
Just add one to the list. Funny, quaint, or poignant.

No social or political commentary please. This is the 'Break Room'.

Here are a few to get us started.

Have fun and play nice!


You might be a Hoosier if:

you use your air conditioner and heater in the same day.

you think the state bird is Larry.

you have de-tasseled corn.

you see a 15 year old boy walking down a road with a rifle and it does not scare you.

You are forced to work in the communist state of Illinois because the same exact job there pays roughly 30 -40% more then it does here.

You are taxed with not only a State Income Tax but also a County Income Tax.

With all the Taxes payed the county still takes 2 days or more to plow the road in front of your house.

You have to pay $125 dollars to be able to use a God given right.

What part of "no social or political commentary' don't you understand?

 

[plowman766]

You look forward to Friday evening because there is a Tenderloin supper or Fish fry somewhere

... If you know what French Lick is and can say it with a straight face. Usually.

... You know that South Bend is north and North Vernon is south.

... You know what the heck a Terre Haute is; and can pronounce it properly.

... It's state law that there must be fried chicken and green bean casserole at any type of pitch-in meal.

What part of "no social or political commentary' don't you understand?

What part of OPEN forum don't you understand??

If you don't want others to comment you probably shouldn't post.

I love Indiana that is why I live here. but the above mentioned things are what makes me a Hoosier. I came from Illinois where no matter what money we spent you could not exercise your 2nd Amendment rights.

So it is a positive even if in your book it is not.

... YOU don't get confused by all the "Greens". Greene County, Greensburg, Greencastle, Greentown, Greendale, and Greenwood...

 

[OneBadV8]

there is at least one Euchre game going on at every party

 

[gvbcraig]

You know that baling wire was the predecessor to duct tape.

You know the state casserole consists of canned green beans, Campbell 's cream of mushroom soup, and dried onions.

You have more guns than children.

You consider being called a "Pork Queen" an honor.


You think of the major four food groups as beef, pork, beer, and Jell-O salad with marshmallows.

 

[sepe]

You love some single wide living and meth manufacturing.

Even though you love some single wide living and meth manufacturing, you KNOW you're better than people from Ohio.

 

[E5RANGER375]

your on a volunteer fire department.

you think deer crossing signs are normal.

your other vehicle is a tractor.

when someone says, FYI, TMI, ASAP, or any other abbreviation, you think they have a stuttering problem.

You think facebook is an actual book.

you think google is a sound a baby makes.

you think its normal to see a still in the woods.

Its normal to find pot next to railroad tracks.

you actually still can find fresh air with little or no drive.


Indiana is not my favorite place in the U.S. but it sure does beat a lot of other places. Its starting to get like other places though with all the importation of people from those places. I have called Indiana home since birth but I still consider myself a southerner LOL.

I still consider myself a southerner LOL.

The South will rise again!

Fixed it for you.

You might be a Hoosier

If you or any of your kinfolk (heck just havin' "kinfolk" will do it) ever thought the "Three Rs" were "Readin', Writin', and Route 31 North".

 

[jsharmon7]

You measure distance in minutes.

You know what Floyd's Knob is and can say it with a straight face...usually.

You've ever seen a blizzard in one part of the state and a tornado in another.

You consider 30 degrees to be "not too bad."

You can remember when "Bob and Tom" were actually funny.

 

[Stschil]

...if you think that using a turn signal is optional

 

[Fishersjohn48]

You consider "The Month of May" a month long vacation.

 

[tyler34]

when north face jackets are for college douches.

 

[ElsiePeaRN]

You save up your Ls when going to Shehbyveel so you can use an extra R on warshing day.

 

[eldirector]

You miss "carb day".

Pork Tenderloins are a minimum of 12" in diameter.

You think it is perfectly normal to "warsh yer clothes", "swim in the crick", and get warm by a "far".

Your big pot of chili has spaghetti in it, and you can "eat on it" for days.

Every Redneck joke you have ever heard reminds you of a family member..... or yourself.
