Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

[tiff13]

When the weather hits 0 degrees you decide that maybe it's time to get out a jacket instead of a sweatshirt.

You drive around with the air conditioning on until it hits 30 degrees, because it just was so darn hot outside. .

You can recognize someone from Illinois from their driving.

You don't have a coughing fit from one sip of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

You can use the word "ya der hey" easily in a sentence

You hear someone use the words "uff-dah" and you don't immediately break into uncontrollable laughter.

Running from the cops consists of hiding in the cornfield

You bragged to your friends because you got pipes on your truck for your birthday.

You've seen -50 temperatures more than once.

You get excited when you hear "Da Tirdy Point Buck" "Second Week of Deer Camp" and "Da Fourdy Pound Croppie" on the radio.

Everybody gets together in the spring and goes mudding

You own a snowmobile, 4-wheeler, and a jet-ski to cover all conditions.

You don't call a foot of snow falling overnight a state of emergency; you call it Wednesday.

People walk into banks wearing ski masks, and no one gets excited.

When you think of a 'pasty,' you think of something to eat, not something a stripper would wear.

It's completely understandable to have an umbrella, snow shovel and swimsuit in your vehicle all on the same day.
