YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM NORTHERN ONTARIO IF...
1. You've never met any celebrities (except Tania Twain, Allan Thicken, or Mike Mahoney)
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a logging truck on the highway.
3. "Vacation" means going to Canada's Wonderland.
4. You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were popular.
5. You measure distance in hours.
6. You know several people who have hit a moose.
7. You school classes were cancelled because of cold.
8. Your school classes were cancelled because of heat.
9. You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way.
10. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
11. You think ethanol makes your truck "run a lot better".
12. You see people wear hunting clothes at funerals.
13. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year.
14. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
15. You think of the major four food groups as beef, moose, beer, and blueberries.
(even though I hate all of those...)
16. You carry jumper cables in your car.
17. You only own 3 spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.
18. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
19. Driving is better in the winter because the pot-holes are filled with snow.
20. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
21. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel shirt.
22. The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.
23. You think that moose/deer season are national holidays.
24. You find -20 degrees F "a little chilly".
25. You know all 4 seasons: Almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.
26. There is a Tim Horton's per every 1000 capita.
27. You actually get these jokes and forward them to all your friends from Northern Ontario.
Most are not jokes, but only the daily reality of our grim lives.....
Heh heh heh. This is just fricking hilarious!
Of course, optionally, there are two seasons: Hockey and construction.
Another funny one is if a large number of students drive their snowmobiles to school.
