The truth about us Missourians

The bad part about it is that most of us know exactly what it all means!



Things I've learned from living in Missouri.


Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.


There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Missouri.

There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Missouri,
plus a couple no one's seen before.

Unknown critters love to dig holes under tomato plants.


Raccoons will test your crop of melons and let you know when they are ripe.

If it grows, it sticks --if it crawls; it bites.


A tractor is NOT an all-terrain vehicle. They do get stuck.

Onced and Twiced are words.

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.


People actually grow and eat okra.


"Fixinto" is one word.


There ain't no such thing as "lunch". There's only dinner and then there's supper.

Sweet Tea is appropriate for all meals... and you start drinking it
when you're 2.


Backwards and forwards means I know everything about you.

"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"

You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is. You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

More about Missourians.... You know you're from Missouri if:

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

2. You know what a mule is.

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

4. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixinto go to the store.

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


6. You install security lights on your house and garage .... and
leave both of them unlocked.

7. You carry jumper cables in your car ... for your OWN car.

8. You know what "cow tipping" is.

9. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, B B Q and ketchup.

10. The local papers cover national and international news on one page but requires 6 pages for local gossip and sports.

11. You think that the first day of deer season and the first day
of trout fishing are national holidays.

12. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."

13. You know all four seasons: Almost summer -- Summer --

Still summer --, and Christmas.

14. You know whether another Missourian is from east, west, or
middle Missouri as soon as they open their mouth, or by the
barbecue they eat.

15. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite pass time (known as "goin
wal-martin" or off to "Wally World." )

16. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good
pinto-bean weather.

17. Fried Catfish is the other white meat.

18. You know what the phrase "Hunkered Down" means.

I understood nearly all that and I'm from Ga. One other interesting thing I heard about Missouri. My friend drove out there a few years ago to breed his female to a stud dog. He said that Missouri roads are much straighter than Ga. roads and dont curve nearly as much. He said that it was funny listening to one missouri guy talk about Ga. roads cause he had been here and he knew how they are............................. " all them durn georgia roads are the same. they go and go and go but dont git nowwhure. they just continuously tist and tuurn, tist and tuurn, tist and tuuurn.. LOL LOL LOL

Are you sure you aint talking about Tennesse. Everything is that way hear except the sweet tea thing We substitute it in the babies bottles. I also call it Wally world its either that her or Walmarts. Deer season is a national holiday here Opening day everyone calls in sick or takes vacation time.

MO
