Alright, alright.  That was not all that funny.  And this is NOT the forum for that sort of thing...

First off, most people from Indiana would probably miss the first question "Where are you from?" anyway.  You go and ask that at the local Wal-Mart and the majority would say "you mean now?"  And look, a lot of those aren't true.  Heck, the only ones I'd say are accurate are 2, 3, 4 (that warming helps), 6, 9 (the landfill has a garage sale every year), 10 (well, mine's on the shelves in the kitchen), 20, 22, 28.  I'm not 65 yet, but I'd agree with that one about the deer. 

Of course, only Hoosiers would actually arrange to take their garage to the landfill, for the sale.  A garage is very important to people in Indiana, since that is where they sit to look out at the world.  We don't have "decks"; just swing the door open and arrange the patio furniture right there in that grand opening.

So that means a lot of these are lies, darn lies, or statistics. 

You know, Illinoisians from Illinois aren't all that dang smart or civilized either.  You guys have reptiles stuck behind your refrigerators... heh.  And, uh... you drink funny light beer, and have appliances in your yard... surrounded by reptiles!  Wait.. maybe I'm thinking of Colorado...  No, there can't be reptiles there, since it's always snowy.

And don't even start me with North or South or Middle Carolinians!  Tell those people to throw something on the grill, and they look for a female in their yard... yeah.

Look, it's not nice to point out how dumb people are.  I mean, dumb people won't even get it, so what's funny about that!?  Plus, Illinois has politically incorrect Indian sports team mascots but INDIANA NAMED THEIR WHOLE DANG STATE AFTER INDIANS!! SO THERE, WISEGUY!! Now who looks stupid, huh!!

Our Indians aren't as rich as the ones in Michigan, who just opened that new Casino.  But by golly they wouldn't BE so dang well off if it wasn't for Indianians heading up there to give them our money!1!  So let's give credit where it's deserved.

I'll be back when I can think of other examples of how people from Indiana aren't as dumb as we look.

Ace; you just wait.

You guys missed the one that goes for both Indiana and Illinois, called by some in these parts, FIPS (but not by me!).

Stopping your car for no apparent reason, right in the road and then either just sitting there and looking around or backing up to see what you might have missed or to turn either right or left. I�m telling you it�s just crazy around here in the summer with all the tourists and second homeowners around and I�m guessing a lot of folks who are just plain lost.

Yep, after much anticipation and a lawsuit or two the casino in up and running. I haven�t been yet and may not for a while yet, but it is supposedly the second largest gamming room in the US. I�m sure Louis Farrakhan is just going to love all the extra traffic going by his place out there on the way to the casino.

Hey wait a minute,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I just did the stop/back-up/turn-left application Saturday. Perfectly executed and I might add locally accepted as the proper way to negotiate a missed turn. Called the "daydream recovery move"


Illinois' main objective is to keep Indiana and Iowa from forming a relationship. No good can come of that. Indiana,,,,, well he isn't to smart, has made some poor choices, and Iowa,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, well,,,,,yikes !! She is just ugly. One can only imagine the off-spring from that pairing. A result  named Acediana would be homeless once it left the fold,,, [ in the map ] there would be no place to put it. Can't go north, that would put a "bump" in the border,,,,, south already has a bump with Texas,,,, east or west,,,,,,,,,,,,, well that would require the construction, of a large oil rig type platform, just not practical. So Illinois is doing the country and the world a great service. Perhaps somewhere in the world there is a country for sale or rent, then
if Louie Farrakhan gets too annoyed with traffic,, he can move to the new Acediana, That is possible if,  Indiana puts on a disguise, and if confronted says it is Ohio, and avoids Illinois by going through KY. and MO.  and the unthinkable happens.

I enjoy the "doze off" of the lead car at a left turn signal that doesn't last long...  Or the slob that is in the middle of the pack crawling along, and goes just fast enough that he goes through on the yellow and leaves you at the intersection.  I'm thinking of pushing them through it.

This morning across the border Michigan is getting pummeled by storms coming across "their lake" while Northern Indiana is only getting a taste.  Rain doesn't taste like much...  I'm afraid Ohio will swallow Indiana at some point, and grow even larger.  I think it's a continent.

You know, I'm watching that "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" show and the question was "Which continent is also a country?" and the woman looks confused and says "Well, they all are..."  Probably from Indiana.  We're going to try a version of that show, but we're gonna knock it down to "Are you smarter than an all-day kindergartener" to make it more competitive.

Ace; putting an Indiana kid in kindergarten for a full day is a waste of half a day.

Yeah, you know these are all good (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8HumYg2Org) but number 9 is just what you�re talking about.

And  these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKQ098sOpJ8&mode=related&search=), well, make for a good laugh.

Fool me once, shame.. shame on you.  How is our children learning?  I have no idea.

I'm thinking of an easier level of game show...  Besides "Are you smarter than the president?"  Either
Are You Smarter Than Tyra Banks?
or
Are You Smarter Than a *****cat Doll?

aCE; don't forget the lyrics.  Let alone the melody.
