You Know You Are from Idaho When..

You know you are from Idaho when someone not from Idaho asks where you are from and you answer, 99% of the time they make a potato reference. Despite the potato jokes the majority of Idahoans have not seen a potato farm.

When someone makes hillbilly jokes about Idahoans yet the majority live in the city.

You know you are from Idaho when you run your heater and your air conditioner in your car in the same day. You wear a sweater then five hours later wear shorts and tank top. You enjoy a scorching hot sunny day at the pool then tomorrow a snow storm hits.

You know you are from Idaho when you hit a deer or know several people who have. You measure distance in hours and minutes instead of miles. Going on a road trip just means going East or West on I-84. You can drive 60 - 70 MPH in a horrible snow filled blizzard without any fear. Road construction delays are always expected.

You know you are from Idaho when your town has an equal amount of churches as bars. Many get drunk partying on Saturdays only to go to church on Sundays. Most all the men, and some women, take their seasonal hunting trip. The local gas station sells live bait. Most everyone owns at least one four wheel drive vehicle. You get a new set of snow tires for a birthday gift.

You know you are from Idaho when you can go fishing, golfing, and skiing all in the same day. You can choose from paper or plastic for your groceries. You can actually see all the stars at night.

Last but not least, you have seen a giant blue football field.
