Jeff Foxworthy on Kansas
If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because it's the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Kansas.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Kansas.
If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Kansas.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Kansas
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation withs someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Kansas.

11. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.

13. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.
14. Down South to you means Oklahoma.
15. A brat is something you eat.
16. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.
17. You go out to a tailgate party every Friday. .

If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Kansas.
My son and all his friends do this all winter!!
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Kansas
We have the only place in the world with a church on a 4 corner area with churches of different denominations. Another corner down the road has a bar with different names, but that isnt in the records books. We also have 14 denominations of churches here, the birthplace of the Mormon religion and actually more bars than churches!!
If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because it's the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Kansas.
Aint the coldest, but I bet colder than Kansas, but do make the news about this many times for snow events!!
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once
Both my sisters
4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
God I dont know how many times this has actually happened, but it does. 80 to 30 in one day has happened quite a few times.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
Just finished watching this , this part weekend!!
9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
YUP
10. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
Yup
11. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
