4. You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
5. You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.
6. "Dress Code" is meaningless at high schools and universities. Picture
lingerie ads.

8. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food.
9. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!
10. You know that "dry heat" is comparable to what hits you in the face
when you open your oven door.

1. You make over $300,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house.
2. The high school quarterback calls a time-out to answer his cell phone.
3. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.
4. You know how to eat an artichoke.
5. You drive your BMW to your neighborhood block party.
6. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather
than how many miles away it is.


You Live in New York City when...

1. You say "the city" and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan.
2. You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State
Building.
3. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but
can't find Wisconsin on a map.
4. You think Central Park is "nature,"
5. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language
makes you multi-lingual.
6. You've worn out a car horn.
7. You think eye contact is an act of aggression.


You Live in Maine when...

1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco.
2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.
3. You have more than one recipe for moose.
4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than eight buttons.
5. The four seasons are: winter, still winter, almost winter, and
construction.


You Live in the Deep South when...

1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
2."ya'll" is singular and "all ya'll" is plural.
3. After five years you still hear, "You ain't from 'round here, are Ya?"
4. "He needed killin' " is a valid defense.
5. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob, Mary Sue, Betty Jean, > MARY ALICE, etc.


You live in Colorado when...

1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car.
2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home and he stops at the day care center.

4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.


You live in the Midwest when...

1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name.
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor.
3. You have had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" on the same day.
4. You end sentences with a preposition: "Where's my coat at?"

different!"

2. All purchases include a coupon of some kind -- even houses and cars.
3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist.

NYC is the armpit of the world. After being out of there for 11 years I realize I could NEVER go back.

Not for any amount of money. Everything about the people, rent, food, cost of living, living conditions, atmosphere, etc is sadly true.

NYC is the most expensive place in the world where nobody can be somebody but most people are nobody, everybody wants to be somebody and nobody cares about anybody.

Live in Queens. Bayside or Fresh Meadows. Much better neighborhood and aesthetics.

Funny quality social commentary. But none of them really apply to Michigan that well :(

I lived in College Station and Maspeth. The first was the slums, the second was a whitey, working class neighborhood of private houses, situated against the BQE. (This was back in 1989). I'm sure it's only gotten worse. You can keep your little place.

I don't why this one is under Maine, we have the most road construction in the country and this joke has been attributed to Michigan forever. ;)
