The really sad thing is I can only answer "No" to numbers 11, 16, 18, 19, 22 and 26.

And actually right now a woman in tube socks and a flannel nightie sounds sexy. ;)

You must be from Michigan if:

1. You?ve never met any celebrities.

2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.

3. "Vacation" means going to Cedar Point.

4. You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were popular.

5. You measure distance in minutes.

6. You know several people who have hit a deer.

7. Your school classes were canceled because of cold.

8. Your school classes were canceled because of heat.

9. You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way.

10. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

11. You think ethanol makes your truck "run a lot better."

12. You know what's knee-high by the Fourth of July.

13. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.

14. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.

15. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year.

16. You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition. Example: "Where's my coat at?" or "If you go to town I wanna go with."

17. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, or animal.

18. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

19. You think of the major four food groups as beef, pork, beer, and Jell-O salad with marshmallows.

20. You carry jumper cables in your car.

21. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" is.

22. You only own 3 spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.

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

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

25. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

26. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel nightie.

27. The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.

28. You think that deer season is a national holiday.

29. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.

30. You know all 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Hotter than Hell, and Construction.

31. There is a McDonalds in every town with a population of 1000 of more.

32. You actually get these jokes and forward them to all your friends from Michigan.

You know you could very easily switch Michigan to Minnesota, and the results would be similar. :)

I'm from Michigan and tube socks, as long as they're pulled down around the ankles, and a flannel nightie, only if the top four buttons are undone, is sexy. :D

LOL. Here's some of those that I think are true.

6. You know several people who have hit a deer.

7. Your school classes were canceled because of cold.

15. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year.

There's a few more but I don't feel like going through finding them. It isn't that bad though. And about the snowsuit, there isn't any snow here and probably won't be for Halloweeen and that is in the Upper Peninsula. We did have some snow a couple weeks back but the 1/2 on the ground or so was gone in 2-3 hours.

A few additions to the list brought up by friends.

You know you're from Michigan if you know the meaning (in Michigan) of the following:

Yooper.

Troll.

'The Straits'

Up North.

These in particular pertain to Michigan.

Heh, Heh, when I forget where I live now and use "Yooper" or "U.P." in a sentence I get the weirdest looks, same thing when I ask for a "pop" to drink.

Hey Eagle_2 recognize this location ?
