YOU MUST BE FROM WISCONSIN!

A friend of a friend of mine was trying to do some yardwork this past weekend, but because he has a well-shaded yard, there was still a pile of snow. He got out the shovel during Saturday's beautiful weather and moved the snow around the yard a bit so it would melt. In the process, he got several mosquito bites. What better way of tell you MUST be from Wisconsin than getting bit by mosquitos while shoveling snow. It inspired me to come up with some more indicators.

If your odometer shows that you've put on over 200,000 miles, and that's just on your snow blower--you must be from Wisconsin.

If you've ever spent an entire day at Fleet Farm picking out just the right wedding dress--you must be from Wisconsin.

If you've ever showed up at church two hours before Sunday mass just to tailgate--you must be from Wisconsin.

If you think the F.B.I. is what dyslexics call Illinoisans--you must be from Wisconsin.

If you didn't know that people from Illinois are actually called Illinoisans--you must be from Wisconsin.

If you've ever put off watering your lawn for a week because your son was using the garden hose to make a beer bong--you must be from Wisconsin.

If despite going "up nort" deer hunting every fall, you wouldn't know a white tail if it bit you on the ass--but you can identify every stripper at Weasel's just from the sight of their lower back tattoo--you must be from Wisconsin.

If accidentally taking a dump in the hood of your blaze orange snowsuit has ever caused you to leave a wedding early--you must be from Wisconsin.

If you've ever removed a foam rubber cheesehead from a loved one to make it easier to close their casket--you definitely must be from Wisconsin.
