Forget Rednecks .....here is what Jeff Foxworthy has
to say about New Englanders...

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September
through May, you live in New England.

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance
and they don't work there, you live in New England.

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
you live in New England.

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with
someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in New England

You know you're a New Englander when: "Vacation" means
going anywhere south of New York City for the weekend.

You measure distance in hours. .well, of course!

You know several people who have hit a deer more than
once.

You have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day
and back again.

You can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a
raging blizzard without flinching.

You install security lights on your house and garage,
but leave both unlocked.

You carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how
to use them.

You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a
snowsuit.

The speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're
going 80 and everybody is passing you!

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes
are filled with snow.

You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still
winter and road construction.

You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

You find 10 degrees "a little chilly."

You actually understand these jokes, and forward them
to all your New England friends & others!

And remember -- if you want to sound like a New England Yankee, make sure you drop all your Rs in words like plumber (plummah) or remember (rememba). But save those Rs so you can insert them in words like Cuba (Kewber) or Noxzema (knockseemer).

Apparently, Minnesota is in New England. (OK, except for the vacationing anywhere south of New York City -- that's be going to "the lake.")
