A Message from the Dept. of Tourism

Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners and Californians cross into states such as Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, the Tourism Councils in those states have adopted a new policy. In an effort to help outsiders understand the rural Midwesterner's mind, the following list will be handed to each person as they enter the states.

1. That slope-shouldered farm body did more work before breakfast than you do all week at the gym.

2. It's called a "gravel road". No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Navigator. I have a four wheel drive because I need it. Drive it or get it out of the way.

3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah, we shot Bambi, we got over it.

4. Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get you whipped...by our women.

5. Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us when a flathead breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little 13 inch trout you fish for - "bait".

6. Pull your pants up. You look like an Idiot.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

8. That's right, whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you paid in the airport for one drink.

9. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey. Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar and a long spoon.

10. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice.

11. So, you have a sixty thousand dollar car. We're real impressed. We have quarter of a million dollar combines that we use four weeks a year.

12. Let's get it straight. We have one stop light in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

13. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks - because they want to. So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute.

14. Yeah, we eat catfish, carp too - and turtle. Your really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the bait shop.

15. They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like it? Interstate 69 goes two ways. State Road 24 goes the other two. Pick one and use it accordingly.

16. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday. You can get breakfast at the church.

17. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Understand the concept?

18. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards. It spooks the fish.

19. That Officer, be it Conservation Officer, sheriff deputy, city police, or highway patrol that just pulled you over for driving like an idiot - his name is "Sir".

Editorial Note: Well I must say as a native New Yorker, I've done my fair share of ripping into any place outside of New York that immediately strikes me for the slow ass service in the restaurants and the basic "hick" lifestyle that creeps me out. I'm sure many people have. Well I must say that this Goofballer submitted himself a fine rant about us people from the coasts. Not just funny, but probably pretty accurate too. Hats off to you bear220.

I have a few comments more, about the aforementioned message. 1. The difference between slope shouldered body and hard body is body fat. 2.I wouldn't drive down a gravel road if I didn't want to get my car dirty. I own a Camaro. I bought for speed and power, not to haul anything. It's a great feeling to rip up the German Autobahn at 140 MPH. 3. We all did too. 4. What? 5. No comment. 6. I agree. 7. Who in the hell would take a cell phone hunting? 8. That whiskey you are paying 2 bucks for is even cheaper on an army installation since we don't pay sales tax. 9. I agree. 10. How else would you drink it? 11. Your loss. 12. Look the f*** out! 13. Butch women suck. 14. I agree. 15. I agree. 16. Sounds a bit backwoods. 17. Outstanding. 18. OK 19. I don't drive like an idiot, I drive to my ability. And finally, no hard feelings to anyone here, this is some funny shit. I'm only doing this because I'm on night shift with nothing to do. Peace

Take no notice of bigdudlong. I'm sure that in his own mind he's in the army. If he really were in the army, he would have respect for others.

'haven't did more work' Hahahahaha. He must have graduated from military skool.

Are you trying to glorify your boring ass farm lifestyle? I'm in the army AND go to the gym so I GUARANTEE you haven't did more work than myself before 0800 hours. I'm sure you're a real hit with the ladies!

Where would you all be without the money generated by all of the tourism by us cityfolks?

And you can keep you dirt roads and mosquitos that carry off small children - I'll take a ride on the 7 train to Shea Stadium any day.

Fine post!!!! City people who do not like small towns or the country should stay the fuck home in the city!!! I've always said, "Don't make fun of me when asking for directions, I'm not the Idiot who's fucking lost!!!"

I may work in the city, but I know enough to live where a person can LIVE!

Ahhh, feel better already!!

The worst ones come through here (hunting season, fishing season opening days), screw up our small lakes with their speedboats & jet skis, leave their trash everywhere. Their behavior makes them easy to spot!
Ever hear of the expression, "wally-o"? Don't know how it originated, but it's as common as "tourist". Fortunately, they don't hang around too long.

Unfortunately,those tourists will inevitably become residents and fuck it all up almost overnight in the name of "progress".

I'm in the city but we are totally surrounded by farm country. I think this needs to be posted at the city limits - or at least handed out to every moron driving a Land Rover through town with not a speck of mud on it. Dipshits....

Great post, bear!
