boy these are OHIO!


A Little Ohio Humor

Forget Rednecks,, here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to
say about Ohioans...

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

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

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

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with
someone who dialed a
wrong number, you may live in Ohio.

If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of
Philadelphia for the weekend,
you may live in Ohio.

If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Ohio.

If you know several people who have hit a deer more
than once, you may live in Ohio.

If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the
same day and back again, you may live in Ohio.

If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow
during a raging blizzard
without flinching, you may live in Ohio.

If you install security lights on your house and
garage, but leave both
unlocked, you may live in Ohio.

If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows
how to use them, you may live in Ohio.

If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit
over a snowsuit, you may live in Ohio.

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph --
you're going 80 and everybody
is passing you, you may live in Ohio.

If driving is better in the winter because the
potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Ohio.

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter,
still winter and road construction, you may live in
Ohio.

If you have more miles on your snow blower than your
car, you may live in Ohio.

If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you may
live in Ohio.


If you actually understand these jokes,
you definitely live in Ohio

Too cute! Im from cincinnati myself but stationed in the south with the military (DH) I know one thing, i sure don't miss those cold winters! lol. Thanks for sharing :-)

I dunno, those Buckeyes come over here and go 90 on our interstate, but when I'm heading over to my brother's, they won't even do the 55 posted limit in their own danged state. And I'm the one wanting to do 60. LOL

I think these all double for Michigan to.

By the way, I've heard that the Ohio state flower is the lovely "orange barrel" so commonly dotting the Ohio highways in the summer. I personally love its bud the "orange safety cone."

Across from WV too? In the tri-state area? It's kinda messed up. My brother lives in OH, works in KY and goes to church in WV. LOL

Yep, in the tri-state area! Although, while I have driven through WV, I've never "walked" on over there for anything. Gosh, this must be so confusing for folks on here! LOL

I wouldn't get caught dead walking across the bridge into OH. Well, I guess that's what would happen if I tried walking across...end up dead. I've seen how those Buckeyes drive.

My brother works over in Russel and lives in So. Point. I'm in Huntington.

Wow!!! you know whats scary?

You know anything about the one festival with the WOOLYBEAR WORM?
