Kathleen, or Chapter Treasurer, sent the following, which was good for a chuckle...
THIS IS WHAT JEFF FOXWORTHY HAD TO SAY ABOUT IDAHOANS!
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Idaho. [yes, even offered help]
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Idaho [no, but my kids have]
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number, you live in Idaho. [I'm surprised more people haven't discovered this little pleasure]
If 'vacation' means going anywhere south of Salt Lake City for the weekend, you live in Idaho . [no, but I did go to Portland for a Thai dinner before there were any Thai restraunts in Boise]
If you measure distance in hours, you live in Idaho . [Took me 9 hours today to make the 7 hour drive to Bend]
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Idaho. [OK, thats a negatory, in so far as I know]
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' and back again in the same day, you live in Idaho. [Hey, did he bug my thermostat? I know the power company wants to...]
If you install security lights on your house and garage but leave both unlocked, you live in Idaho. [What's a lock?]
If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Idaho. [Yeah, Chrysler AWD has 7 computers in the transmission, and can stop in snow pack better than my old jeep crawling along at 25 ever could!]
If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Idaho. [hey, that's not funny. it's cold at 10PM in at the end of October!]
If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph --you're going 80, and everyone is still passing you, you live in Idaho. [Mr Foxworthy must not have made these observations in Canyon County.]
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Idaho. [potholes shotholes, move over Boston, you got nothing on the axel busters here!]
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Idaho . [hey, that's pretty good, but that is the other Idaho, north of Lewiston. They probably still think THEY are Idaho, but we stole the state seal and the seat of the state government, fair and square.]
If you find 10 degrees 'a little chilly' you live in Idaho. [see above]
If you actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your IDAHO friends, you live in Idaho. [It's what America used to be]

Hey! Most of what you said here applies to Minnesota! (Except for the things that involve being nice to people....MN is billed as "Minnesota Nice" but as I came here from another state I can tell you that's BS. I'm nice, though).

ReplyDeleteYes, this definitely describes us here in the panhandle: we had 2" of snow on June 10 this year. But I prefer to think of us up here, not as simply Idaho, but Idaho 2.0 (fewer bugs).
I think North Idaho should be its own state. The heck with Boise.....
