Bob's Corner
From our weekly issue dated October 22, 2008
Based on an Internet message, this is what comedian Jeff Foxworthy has to say about living in Oregon:
- If someone in a Home Depot offers you assistance and they don’t work there, you live in Oregon.
- If you’ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Oregon.
- If you’ve had a long phone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number, you live in Oregon.
- If you measure distance in hours rather than mileage, you live in Oregon.
- If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Oregon.
- If you have switched from “heat” to “A/C” and back again in the same day, you live in Oregon.
- If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave your front and back doors unlocked, you live in Oregon.
- If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Central, Southern or Eastern Oregon.
- If you design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over eight layers of clothes, you live in Oregon.
- If the speed limit is 55 mph -- you’re going 80, and everyone is still passing you, you live in Oregon.
- If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow and ice, you live in Oregon.
- If you know all four seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Oregon.
- If you actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your Oregon friends, you live or have lived in Oregon.
