Jeff Foxworthy on New Hampshire

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches
of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you
might live in New Hampshire.

If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights a year
because Mt. Washington is the coldest spot in the nation, and Plymouth gets
more snow than any other major city in the US, you might live in New
Hampshire.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from October through May, you might live
in New Hampshire.

If you get 131 inches of snow in a week and you comment that 'winter's
finally here', you might live near Laconia in New Hampshire.

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you
might live, bundled up, in New Hampshire.

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance, and they don't work
there, you might live in New Hampshire.

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his
forehead, you might live in New Hampshire.

If you have worn shorts and a parka on the same day, you might live in New
Hampshire.

If you have had a lengthy phone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong
number, you might live in New Hampshire.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE NEW HAMPSHIRER WHEN:


'Vacation' means going South past Manchester for the weekend.

You measure distance in hours.

You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.

You often switch from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again.

You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard,
without flinching.

You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both
unlocked.

You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend/wife knows how to
use them.

You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road
construction.

You can identify a southern or northern accent.

Down South to you means Concord .

Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new shed.

You go out for a fish fry every Friday.

Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.

You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

You find 10 degrees 'a little chilly.' and 55 is shorts weather.

You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your New
Hampshire friends and to those who used to live here and left. --
(chickens).

Bob, I was ROFLMAO (I think that means falling down with vigorous chortling) when I read the e-mail you got.

Are these some of the questions Jeff Foxworthy asks on his TV game show Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

And how does this self proclaimed Red Neck know about NH anyway :rolleye1:?

I just said this to my wife this morning in regards to the Center Harbor end of Keyser Road where it meets College Road. Good stuff.....

Yup. Guilty.

'Have been seen once in a while in a parker, shorts and bean boots. The good thing is that in the Wintertime my nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away.

Is there anything wrong with going from flip flops to bean boots in the same day? The usual routine is to shift from flip flops to the "Beannies" around hunting season and back around ice out. Six weeks till flip flops!!!

PS. Did you ever notice that when you walk backwards in flip flops they make a "flop flip" sound?

Same day? What about at the same time?

It was warm when I got dressed and I am both cold and to uncommitted to change to pants.

Thought of some this weekend, while shoveling snow.

If you've ever (swear to god its true) worn shorts, a windbreaker and boots with your kids while standing in a snowbank watching someone break up the lake ice, with a jet ski....

If you didn't need the media to tell you it was time to shovel your roof.....

If you know its time to close the bedroom window because you saw frost on your windshield....

If you consider anything south of Manchester to be Massachusetts....

If you know at least 3 people known only as either Memere or Pepere....

you might be from New Hampshire.
