< You Might Be From Michigan If ...
By MC Ward

If you define summer as three months of bad sledding.

If your definition of a small town is one that doesn't have a lake.

If snow tires come standard on all cars.

If at least 50% of your relatives work for the auto industry.

If owning a Japanese car was a hanging offense in your home town.

If you learned to pilot a boat before the training wheels came off your bike.

If you point at the palm of your right hand to tell people where you live.

If you don't understand what the big deal about Chicago is.

If "Down South" to you means Toledo.

If octopus and hockey go together as logically as hot dogs and baseball.

If the Big Mac is something you can drive across.

If your kids' baseball or softball games have been snowed out.

If you bake with "soda" and drink "pop."

If you drive 70 on the highway and always pass on the right.
