Georgia

The sad part of this joke is that 90% is true.

What being a Georgian Means


Things I have learned being a Georgian

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

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

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

4. Squirrels will eat anything.

5. Unknown critters love to dig holes under tomato plants.

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

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

8. Onced and twiced are words.

9. It is not a shopping cart; it is a buggy.

10. Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.

11. People actually grow and eat okra.

12. Fixinto is one word.

13. There is no such thing as "lunch". There is only dinner and then there is supper.

14. Ice tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar!

15. Backards and forwards means "I know everything about you."

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

17. 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.



You know you're from Georgia if:

1. You measure distance in minutes.

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

3. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: "I'm fixing to go to the store "
4. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

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

6. You know what a "DAWG" is.

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

9. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, Tabasco and catsup.

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

11. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

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 Georgian is from Atlanta, north or south Georgia as soon as they open their mouth.

15. Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past 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. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop.. .it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. Example: "What kinda coke you want?"

18. Fried catfish is the other white meat.

19. You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from Georgia (and those who just wish they were).

Not EVERYONE can be a Georgian, it's an art form and a gift from God!

You can't forget the snake that has to go down your drain every other week!

You are from Brantley County, Ga if you use the terms " mo gooder" or "mo better".

I left Brunswick back in Feb '06 and I reckon after so many years there, I will always be pointed at.

True. That post reminds me of something, I will PM on it.
