You may be from Indiana if...

There was a girl I went to high school with that put this on her facebook page last night.  It made me laugh.  -I added a few explanations in case you aren't from Indiana.

 Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Indiana.
*If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't even work there, you may live in Indiana. (It is true that people are friendly...When I go running in Indiana you always nod your head or say hello to people you pass)
* If you've worn shorts and a jacket at the same time, you may live in Indiana.
*If "vacation" means going anywhere south of Fort Wayne for the weekend, you may live in Indiana. (This was my whole childhood.  All of our family vacations were to state parks or to Indianapolis...all south of Ft. Wayne)
* If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Indiana.(How else do you explain how far things are?  Where's the mall? Oh its about a half hour away.)
*If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Indiana. (My dad twice)
*If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you may live in Indiana. (Very typical of months like October, and March.)
* If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Indiana. (Ì may flinch a little on the highway, I won`t lie...but lots of people don`t)
*If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both doors unlocked, you may live in Indiana. (Seriously, we never locked our house when I was growing up.)
*If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Indiana. (I definitely remember a couple of snowy Halloween nights in my life.)
*If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in Indiana.(SOooo true.  The major highway to Chicago is 55mph through Gary...if you are going under 90 you will get run off the road)
* If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Indiana.(Absolutely)
*If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Indiana. (This is a well known Indiana joke.  Winter lasts forever, and when it finally leaves road construction is everywhere to fix all of the damage caused by the salt on the roads)
* If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may live in Indiana.
*If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Indiana.
*If you actually understand these jokes, you definitely do live - or have lived - in Indiana

-Like I said, it made me laugh so I thought I would share.

I found this hilarious because an almost IDENTICAL e-mail has been going around -- but about CANADA! Just replace the word "Indiana" with "Canada" and that's pretty much the e-mail we've been relating to and laughing about in Canada for years. :)
