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.

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." )

pinto-bean weather.
