And then my wife (tried and true Iowa native) sends me the
following. BTW, #15 isn't totally true--just normal.
You know you're from Iowa when:
1. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a
tractor on the
highway.
2. "Vacation" means going to Des Moines for the weekend.
3. You measure distance in hours.
4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
5. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
6. You use a down comforter in the summer.
7. Your parents or grandparents drive at 65 mph through 13 feet
of snow
during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
8. You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
9. You install security lights on your house and garage and
leave both
unlocked.
10. You think of the major food groups as deer meat, beer, corn,
and soy
nuts.
11. You carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how
to use them.
12. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the
corner store at
any given time.
13. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a
snowsuit.
14. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are
filled with
snow.
15. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
16. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter? still winter?
and
construction.
17. It takes you 3 hours to go to the store for one item even
when you're in
a rush because you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.
18. You actually understand these jokes and forward them to all
your friends
from Iowa.
