Colorado

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Colorado.

If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights
each year because Fraser is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Colorado.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through May, you might live in Colorado.

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the
year, you might live in Colorado.

If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work
there, you might live in Colorado.

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his
forehead, you might live in Colorado.

If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Colorado.

If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Colorado.

If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Colorado.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Coloradan WHEN:

2. You measure distance in hours.

7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave all the doors unlocked.

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

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

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

11. You can identify a southern or eastern accent.

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

13. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.

14. A critter is something you eat.

15. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.

16. You go out to fish fry every Friday.

17. YOUR 4TH OF JULY PICNIC WAS MOVED INDOORS DUE TO FROST.

18. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

19. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."

20. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Colorado friends.
