Jeff, you should like this. It reminds me of home
SMALL TOWNS
Those who grew up in small
towns will laugh when they read
this. Those who didn't will be in
disbelief and won't understand how true it
is.
1) You can name everyone you
graduated with.
2) You know what 4-H means.
**** 3) You went to parties at a pasture, barn,
gravel pit, or in the middle of a
dirt road. On Monday you could always tell
who was at the party because of
the scratches on their legs from
running through the woods when
the party was busted. (See #6.)
4) You used to'drag'Main .
5) You whispered
the 'F' word and your parents
knew within the hour.
6) You scheduled parties around the schedules of
different police officers, because you knew
which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn't.
7) You could never buy cigarettes because all the
store clerks knew how old you were (and if you were old enough, they'd tell your parents anyhow.) Besides, where
would you get the money?
When you did find somebody old
enough and brave enough to buy cigarettes, you
still had to go out into the
country and drive on back roads to smoke them.
9) You knew which section of the
ditch you would find the beer your buyer
dropped off.
10) It was cool to date somebody from the neighboring
town.
11) The whole school went to the
same party after graduation.
12) You didn't give directions by
street names but rather by references.
Turn by Nelson's house, go 2 blocks to
Anderson 's, and it's four houses
left of the track field.
13) The golf course had only 9 holes.
14) You couldn't help but date a
friend's ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
15) Your car stayed filthy
because of the dirt> roads, and you will never own a
dark vehicle for this reason.
16) The town next to you was considered
'trashy' or 'snooty,' but was actually just
like your town.
17) You referred to anyone with a
house newer then 1955 as the 'rich' people.

dressed funny, and then you picked up the trend
2 years later.
19) Anyone you wanted could be found at the local gas
station or the dairy bar.
20) You saw at least one friend a week
driving a tractor through town or
one of your friends driving a grain truck to
school occasionally.
21) The gym teacher suggested you haul hay
for the summer to get stronger.
22) Directions were given using THE
stop light as a reference.
23) When you decided to walk somewhere for
exercise, 5 people would pull
over and ask if you wanted a ride.
24) Your teachers called you by
your older siblings' names.
25) Your teachers remembered when
they taught your parents.
26) You could charge at any local
store or write checks without any ID.
27) There was no McDonalds.

29) It was normal to see an old
man riding through town on a riding lawn
mower.
30) You've pee'd in a cornfield.
31) Most people went by a
nickname.
32) You laughed your butt off reading this
because you know it is true, and
you forward it to everyone who may have lived in a
small town.
