If...

A couple of weeks ago, a friend sent me me a humorous e-mail entitled, "You Know You're From Mississippi if....". I'll be honest; the redneck jokes do get a little old. At second glance, though, a few of them were actually true. In case you were wondering which ones, or were getting ready to check Snopes.com, here they are:

1. You can properly pronounce Neshoba, Chata, DeKalb, Kosciusko, Decatur, Yazoo, Pascagoula, Picayune, and Scooba.
2. You think people who complain about the wind in their states are sissies.
3. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
4. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
5. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
6. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
7. You don't push your groceries in a cart; you use a buggy.
8. You measure distance in minutes.
9. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
10. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.
11. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol, but a Ford F-350 Extended Bed Crew Cab is.
