Cassandra

I am very Proud to be a Mississippian because for:1.I can properly pronounce Kosciusko, Ackerman, Gautier and Belzoni.2.I think the people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.3.A tornado warning siren is my signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.4.I 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.I've seen people wear overalls at funerals.7.I think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.8.I measure distance in minutes. (It's about 5 minutes down the road)9.I go to the lake because I think it is like going to the ocean.10.I listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.11.I know cowpies are not made of beef.12.Someone I know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.13.I know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than my fist.14.I'm not 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.I know everything goes better with Ranch Dressing.17.I learned how to shoot a gun before I learned how to multiply.18.I have used my heater and air-conditioner in the same day!19.I actually get these jokes.Finally: I am 100% Mississippian because I have had this conversation: 'You wanna coke?' 'Yeah.' 'What kind?' 'Dr Pepper.'
