Forget Rednecks ..here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about....

CHICAGO...

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from October through April, you live in Chicago .



If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Chicago .



If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Chicago ..



If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Chicago .



If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of I - 80 for the weekend, you live

in Chicago .



If you measure distance in hours, you live in Chicago .



If you have switched from 'Heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you live in Chicago .



If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Chicago .



If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you live in Chicago .



If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Chicago .



If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you live in Chicago ..



If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Chicago .



If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you live in Chicago .



If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in Chicago .



If you find 10 degrees 'a little chilly', you live in Chicago ..



If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your friends and others, you live or lived in Chicago .

Very close to the truth. I was born there and spent my 1st 30 years in the city and suburbs. Although I've been gone about as long, I still proudly think of Chicago as my home town. Don't get back much anymore.

we moved to Los Angeles for about ten years....this morning, after pushing the snowblower up and down the driveway for the ump-teenth time since thanxgiving, :banghead I'm trying to recall why we moved back. ......?

Born and raised there and left over 20 years ago. Used to have to quit riding the motorcycle in mid-october. Every year I would get the bike out in April and find the last newspaper that I would buy when I would take the bike to breakfast. It was always a mid-october date on the paper! I moved to Colorado just so I could ride more. I never put my bike away and pretty much ride year round here. It's a real mild winter in Colorado compared to Chicago, but the food in Chicago I miss a lot!!
