Just in case you didn’t know, I am from Alabama. I live in Alabama, I love Alabama, I am a Country Girl (not a Redneck) and I am proud of it! There is a difference between being Country and a Redneck, trust me on this. :1: Anyways, my sister Lisa sent me this FUNNY e-mail called “True Alabamians” and I thought I would share it with you. Just so you know, I agree with every single one of these. :21:

Here are some ways to know if you’re a true Alabamian…

1. You can properly pronounce Arab, AL.

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. You 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, they have sacks.

6. You’ve seen people wear bib overalls at funerals.

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes.

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

13. You have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14. You aren’t 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. You know everything goes better with Ranch.

17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

18. You actually get these jokes and are “fixin’ ” to send them to your friends.

Finally:

19. you are 100% Alabamian if you have ever had this conversation:

“You wanna coke?”

“Yeah.”

“What kind?”

“Dr Pepper.”
