How you know you're from Georgia.



1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, and Smyrna.

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the

distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.

6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at weddings and funerals.

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes.

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

11. You know cow pies are not made of beef.

12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding.

13. You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and bait

all in the same store.

15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed

Crew Cab is.

16. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing.

17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

18. You actually get these jokes and are 'fixin' to send them to your friends.

19. You want to go back to Georgia where everything is normal.

20. You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation:

"You wanna coke?"

"Yeah."

"What kind?"

"Dr. Pepper."



Don't be a stick in the mud. You know this is funny, whether you're from

here or not!

I had the same thing sent to me and it applies to Alabama as well. Only difference is the cities; Sylacauga, Opelika, and quite a few others that I can't think of right now.
