    Dear Monte,

    Thinking of you.... (which isn't ALL bad)

     

    Jeff Foxworthy on Illinois:
    * If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through
    March, you might live in     Illinois.
    * If someone in a store offers you assistance & they don't
    work there, you might live in     Illinois.

    * If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his
    forehead, you might live in     Illinois. * If you have ever
    worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in
    Illinois. * If your town has an equal number of bars and
    churches, you might live in     Illinois. * If you have had a
    lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a
    wrong number, you might live in     Illinois.
     
    YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Illinoisan WHEN:
    1. Vacation means going north or south on I-55 for the
    weekend.
    2. You measure distance in hours.
    3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than
    once.
    4. You often switch from heat to AC in the same day and
    back again.
    5. You drive 65 mph through a raging blizzard, without
    flinching.
    6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events
    (including weddings).
    7. You install security lights on your house and garage
    and leave both unlocked.
    8. You carry jumper cables in your car and know how to use
    them.
    9. You design your kids Halloween costume to fit over a
    snowsuit. 10. Driving is better in the winter because the
    potholes are filled with snow. 11. You know all 5 seasons:
    almost winter, winter, still winter, road construction &
    It's Hot. 12. Your idea of creative landscaping is a
    statue of a deer next to a blue spruce. 13. 'Down south'
    means     Missouri. 14. A brat is something you eat.
    15. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole
    shed. 16. You go out to a tailgate party every Friday.
    17. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
    18. You find 0 degrees a 'little chilly.'
    19. You know the difference between corn and soybeans at a
    glance. 20. You do not consider     Chicago to be a part of
    Illinois. 21. A 'hill' is any landmass higher than 20 feet
    above sea level. 22. You actually understand these jokes,
    and you forward them to all your     Illinois friends. What's
    not to understand?

    Booter - I think "You know several people who have hit a deer more than once" means hitting more than one deer, not backing up and making another run to make sure it's dead before you throw it in the back of the truck.

    We had a school bus driver that kinda did that.

     Kids are going to school in the morning,  wounded deer along side the road, bus driver stops,  another truck stops to see whats up, other truck driver gives a kid a wrench to beat the deer to death,  doesnt work,  kids go on to school,  on the way home same deer is still there - dead this time,  kids talk lady bus driver into stopping,  kids get out then open the rear door of the bus and then the kids pick up the deer and put it in and drop it off at one of the kids house,  bus driver resigns 1 week later. I am not kidding.

    Only in Oblong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    once.     Heck, in college, I hit 2 at once on time!
