Feeling rather silly....
not sure if it is from the 32oz. of diet Coke I am drinking or the Ben & Jerry's Dublin Mudslide ice cream I treated myself to after my CT but here is a little diddy that my local free weekly paper had in it today and I thought I would share.....
New Englanders by Jeff Foxworthy
If you consider it as sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping it will swim by, you might live in New England.
If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Mt. Washington is the coldest spot in the nation, and Boston gets more snow than any other major city in the US you, live in NE.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in NE.
If you instictively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you live in NE.
If you had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number , you live in NE.
You know you are a New Englander when:
"Vacation" means going anywhere south of New York City for the weekend.
You measure distance in hours.
You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
You have switched from "heat" to AC in the same day, and back again.
You can drive 65 mph through two feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.
You install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked.
You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend/wife knows how to use them.
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over over a snowsuit.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
You know all four seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.
Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your future spruce.
Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new shed.
Your 4th of July picnic was moved inside due to frost.
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
You find 10 degrees "a little chilly".
You actually understand these jokes, and pass them to your friends.
Sad but true!!!!!
