Vermont:

Hi neghbour!

It a pleasure to know that there is somebody from the same city.

[daddysfiddler]

I'm from the AMAZING state of Kansas.

You might be from Kansas if...

Your closest neighbor is more than a mile away, and you can still see him from your front porch.
Going on vacation means going to Hutch to the fair, Abilene to Ike's museum or Boot Hill to see Miss Kitty.
A traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at a four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first.
You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
You have owned at least one belt buckle bigger than your fist.
You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are sissies.
You are not surprised to find movie rentals, ammunition and bait all in the same store.
You have been asked, "Where is Toto" more than once.
Traffic congestion is ten cars waiting to pass a combine on the highway.
You have had to switch from heat to A/C in the same day.
In August you break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7a.m.
A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F150 4x4 is. (Except in Johnson County)
A tornado-warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
You know the real way to pronounce the name of Clintons state and the river... arKANSAS.
You think the opening day of pheasant season is a national holiday.
You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.


If you want to read the full list it's at http://www.kansasoptimist.org/JokeBook/you_from_kansas.htm there are 55 of them. <><

Kilted and Fiddler~

That gave me a good enough laugh to last me a while. Thank you! (I'd be rolling on the floor with glee, if I wasn't in a slightly bad mood due to my neighbor's cigarette smoke insideously sneaking into my own apartment by some unknown means.)

Kilted— I feel evil at how hard that song made me laugh. I'm not well-acquainted with Glasgow, but I have had the pleasure of associating on a daily basis with younger citizens of Kirkaldy and Glenrothes. (An American child in a school uniform is evidently the cultural equivalent of blood in a shark tank for cigarette-clutching, be-trackied teenaged girls.)
