Today, we had a big blizzard. My T-Bird was slippin' and slidin' all the way home. But many people here probably don't realize just what it means to live in Minnesota. I recently remembered that somebody had put it into perfect words and I decided to show it to you all so you can know just what the life-style is like in this state of the USA.
50 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Duluth sunbathe.
40 above zero: Italian & English cars won't start. People in Minnesota drive with the windows down.
32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in Bemidji gets thicker.
20 above zero: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt.
15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold.
Zero: People in Miami all die. Minnesotans close the windows.
10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Minnesota get out their winter coats.
25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Minnesota! are selling cookies door to door.
40 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Minnesota let the dogs sleep indoors.
100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get upset because they can't start the Mini-Van.
460 below zero: ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.) People in Minnesota start saying..."Cold 'nuff fer ya?"
