Posted on 10. Jan, 2010 by Writer in On The Road

You know you’re from Wisconsin if…

You think of the major food groups as venison, beer, fish, and berries.

You buy your Christmas presents at Fleet Farm.

“Down South” to you means Chicago.

You consider Madison exotic.

You don’t have a coughing fit from one sip of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Your 4th of July Family Picnic was moved indoors due to frost.

You decided to have a picnic this summer because it fell on a weekend.

Ah a questionable diet is the sign of any good cold place! Meat and strong alcohol, it looks like Scotland!

I had no idea you were from Wisconsin! I am too! Here’s another hint that you know you’re from the state: 20 degrees on the fringe of winter is a heatwave. Time to pull out the shorts!!
