Jeff Foxworthy on Manitoba;

You might live in Manitoba if;

You consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping the food will swim by

You're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Winnipeg is the coldest spot in the nation

Your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May

You instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year

Your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead

You have worn shorts and a parka at the same time

You have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number

Vacation means going South past Emerson for the weekend

You measure distance in hours

You know several people who have hit a deer more then once

You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again

You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow suring a raging blizzard without flinching

You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow

You know all four seasons; almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction

Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce

Down south to you means Grand Forks

Your July 1st picnic was moved indoors due to frost

You have more miles on your snow blower then your car

You find 0 degrees a "little chilly" but its still t-shirt weather

You actually understand these jokes and send the link to a friend
