Subject: Rules of Minnesota

 

 

Here's to all of us who live in Minnesota , some born and raised here.

Some got here as fast as they could and others who would like to be from Minnesota .

 

Rules of Minnesota :

 

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

 

2. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a

Pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're

going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

 

3. You say our lakes smell to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it.

 

4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have

$250,000 combines that are driven only 3 times ayear.

 

5. So every person in every pickup waves. Its called being friendly. try to understand the concept.

 

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of ducks are

coming in; we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better

hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

 

7. Yeah, we eat walleye & northern pike and love it.

You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

 

8. The 'Opener' refers to the first day

of deer season. It's a Religious holiday held the

closest Saturday to the first of November.

 

9. We open doors for women. That is applied to

all women, regardless of age.

 

10. No, there's no 'vegetarian

special' on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the

Chef's Salad and pick off the pound of ham & turkey.

 

11. When we fill out a table, there are three

main dishes:

meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: Onion, Pepper, and Garlic!

 

12. College and High School Football is as

important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a lot more fun

to watch.

 

13. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit

the water hazards --it spooks the fish.

 

14. Colleges? Try St. Olaf, Concordia, or St.John's .

They come outta there with an education plus a

love for God and country, and they still wave at passing

pickups when they come home for the holidays.

 

15. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air

Force and Marines, than any other state, so 'Don't mess with

Minnesota .' If you do, you will get whipped

by the best.'

 

Minnesota is the greatest state ever!!

Ditto !! on that.

 

Being originally from that great state, I'm forced to make a couple of comments, and additions. ( Spent 32 years of my life there )

 

I have a book, titled, " How To Speak Minnesotan " A visitor's Guide.

By, Howard Mohr, Creator of Minnesota Language Systems. I dig it out about once a year to help me remember all those growing up years. This book may make you laugh, or it might make you mad. ??

 

Why did I leave ?? good question. I just could not take another winter of 20 to 30 below !! Sorry, I just had enough. And yes, the Rain here in Seattle, and the clouds get pretty depressing at times, But!! Sorry, its better then -30F. !!!!!!!

 

I do miss that fantastic Corn Feed Beef though !!!!!!!!!! I used to raise the stuff, Darn Its Good Meat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Round Steak, you can cut with your fork !!!!!

 

And the SWEET CORN, PICKED UP AT THE GREEN GIANT PLANT !!!!!! Fresh picked from the field ---------- Nothing in the world as good---- Dad used to grow the stuff for the Green Giant

 

Ahhh memories -- But I get to laugh my rear off here in Seattle, when 2 inchs of snow brings the entire city to a stand still --- I know its hard for Minn. folks to understand what 2 inches of snow can do to a West Coast City, Its a Riot !!!!!
