A winter statistic

[Red Logan #12252]

A winter statistic:

98% OF AMERICANS SCREAM BEFORE GOING IN THE DITCH ON A SLIPPERY ROAD.

 

THE OTHER 2% ARE FROM COLORADO AND THEY SAY,

 

"HOLD MY SODA AND WATCH THIS."

 

 

 

***********************************

 

Now, you're from Colorado if.........

 

You eat ice cream in the winter.

 

 

It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be cancelled.

 

 

You'll wear flip flops every day of the year,

 

regardless of temperature.

 

 

You have no accent at all, but can hear other people's.

 

And then you make fun of them.

 

 

"Humid" is over 25%.

 

 

Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and

 

Away from the mountains.

 

 

You say "the interstate" and everybody knows which one.

 

You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard.

 

 

 

You buy your flowers to set out on Mother's day, but try and

 

hold off planting them until just before Father's day.

 

 

You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat.

 

 

You know what the Continental Divide is.

 

 

You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal.

 

 

You went to Casa Bonita as a kid, AND as an adult.

 

 

 

You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was

 

never intended for such activities.

 

 

You always know the elevation of where you are.

 

You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day

 

and you wonder if it's gonna snow later.

 

 

 

You don't care that some company renamed it,

 

the Broncos still play at Mile High Stadium!!!

 

 

Every movie theater has military and student discounts.

 

 

You actually know that ** South Park ** is a real place,

 

not just a dumb show on TV.

 

 

 

You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you

 

know its natural habitat is Boulder .

 

 

 

You know you're talking to a fellow Coloradoan when

 

they call it "Elitches," not ""Six Flags."

 

 

 

A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you.

 

 

 

Your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever

 

is beating the crap out of the Raiders.

 

 

 

When people back East tell you they have mountains

 

in their state too, you just laugh.

 

 

 

You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels "sticky" and

 

you notice the sky is no longer blue.

 

 

 

FORWARD THIS IF YOU LIVE IN OR ARE FROM COLORADO !!!

Yup, pretty much describes me, but I don't make fun of peoples accents.

I'm a Broncos fan, so I can agree with you there!

 

I've never screamed when going into a ditch. The one time I recall doing it, I calmly told my wife "Well, here we go."
