don't know if there are many South Dakotan's, but it was still funny. Having grown up in the country, many of these fit several states...Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and others...
1. The first and perhaps only celebrity you've ever met is Captain 11
2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting on I-90 for the "follow me" car to come back during road construction.
3. "Vacation" means stopping off at Wall Drug for Friday night dinner
and a drive through the Badlands early Saturday morning, with the rest
of the weekend driving through the Black Hills before heading home for
Sunday night chores.
4. You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were popular.
5. You measure distance in minutes and hours.
6. You know several people who along with you have walked to school
uphill in knee-deep snow in a blizzard....and they weren't lying.
7. Your school classes were canceled because of cold. And cold means 10

11. Everyone's parents knew everyone else's parents and grandparents.
12. You know what's 'knee-high' by the Fourth of July.
13. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks. It's not soda, its pop.
14. You know not only 'what' but 'where' Sturgis is. And, your first big trip in life was to see Mt. Rushmore and visit the Flintstone's Bedrock City in Custer.
15. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year.
16. "You betcha," and "You guys." Need we say more?
17. All the festivals across the state and a major attraction are named
after a vegetable, grain or animal. i.e. Corn Palace.
18. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both
unlocked.
19. You think of the major four food groups as beef, pork, Beer, and red Jell-o with marshmallows (and maybe those little fruit pieces).
20. Everyone carries jumper cables in their car.
21. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" are.
22. You only own 3 spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.
23. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
24. Driving is better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
25. You think everyone from out of state has an accent.
26. A big shopping trip is going to Sioux Falls - Great Plains Mall. Minneapolis, Mall of America if you are really living.
27. The local paper covers national and international headlines on one
page, but requires 6 pages for area sports. You know who won the State
"A" basketball championships for years back - girls and boys
28. You consider deer season and pheasant season national holidays.
29. You know which leaves make good toilet paper while camping and
hunting.
30. You know all 4 seasons: Almost winter, winter, Hotter than Hades,
and winter again
31. There is a McDonald's in every town with a population of 1,000 or
more. Over 1,000, there is a McDonald's on each end of town.
32. Eight-foot tall snow piles divide the lane down the middle of Main
Street from November through March.
33. Pop is a Coke and soda involves ice cream and root beer.
34. You plug your car in at night, but it's not to charge the batteries.
35. You could always count on the local truck stop or The Happy Chef for the best breakfast in town.
36. Aside from pheasants, mosquitoes are the state bird.
