Homemama2 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Saw this on FB today, and thought anyone from Indiana would love this. I can't vouch for southern Indiana, but every single one is true if you live in the northern part! Haha! Indiana, according to Jeff Foxworthy: If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you may live in Indiana. If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't even work there, you may live in Indiana. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Indiana. If "vacation" means going anywhere south of Fort Wayne for the weekend, you may live in Indiana. If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Indiana. If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Indiana. If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you may live in Indiana. If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Indiana. If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both doors unlocked, you may live in Indiana. If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Indiana. If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Indiana. If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live n Indiana. If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you may live in Indiana. If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Indiana. 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, repost this so all of your Indiana friends and others can see you definitely do live -or have lived- in Indiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennynd Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I lived in Indiana/Michigan for more than 11 years. This is so true. I miss people in Indiana. They are just so nice and friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganicAnn Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 If turn signals are optional on cars because everyone knows where you are going, then you might live in small town Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I went to university in Indiana and loved every minute of it. I really miss living there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 :lol: My mom lives in Indiana and I laughed so hard at the part about installing flood lights but leaving all doors unlocked. It drives me batty when I visit. I end up getting up after everyone is asleep and lock the doors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learningmama Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction... Love this! :lol: This is why my husband wanted to move to Florida! We spent all our lives in Indiana and moved last year. He always has wanted to go south.

Scrapmom3 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Too funny! Loved the part about the DQ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photomo Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I live in Indiana... In our rural area our traffic jams are when you get stuck behind a combine or any type of farm equipment on a main state road for miles. (We just went thru harvest season so this happened quite often ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Indiana is amazing. I've lived way up north and now I'm way down south. I may as well have moved from one Pole to the other as far as the weather is concerned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I haven't lived in an area with snow since about 1978 when I was a kid. I hope to never have to deal with driving in snow again unless I am driving up to the slopes! One thing I hated was the huge snow piles in parking lots that melted long after everything else. They got black from the car exhausts and dirt and were just ugly. Dawn Indiana is amazing. I've lived way up north and now I'm way down south. I may as well have moved from one Pole to the other as far as the weather is concerned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 My fav Hoosier joke; If it's 5 p.m. in Ohio, what time is it in Indiana? A: 1978:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbeam Jones Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Indiana is amazing. I've lived way up north and now I'm way down south. I may as well have moved from one Pole to the other as far as the weather is concerned! :iagree: I have lived in Southern Indiana all my life except for my college years which were spent in Northern Indiana. And boy is the weather different! So only half the list applies to Southern Indiana, at least my part - almost the most Southern, but I still enjoyed the list! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 My fav Hoosier joke; If it's 5 p.m. in Ohio, what time is it in Indiana?A: 1978:001_smile: That is so funny! All the Indiana sayings from the OP could easily be applied to Missouri! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Oh, cute! We have those exact same seasons here in Maine. Funny that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgrace Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 That was funny! I'm in Southern Indiana and have been most of my life. My husband and I lived in Northern Indiana for a few years in early marriage though. We called it the Tundra. I prefer S. Indiana weather!

foxbridgeacademy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm from Bloomington(Lived in Muncie too) and except for the Fort Wayne vacation reference it was spot on. We left Indiana in Feb. of 2006, on the day we left it was 6 degrees F. When we arrived in Florida it was 65. I went into the Gulf first thing. The few people on the beach thought I was crazy. The water Temp was the same as a late May dip in Lake Monroe. We loved Indiana, it's still "home" but I will never move back. Even though the people are uniquely wonderful the cold is unbearable.
