Life as a Manitoban

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

Hi there folks:

This joke was sent to me, being I' m Manitoban and its pretty true on Manitobans, lol.

Life as a Manitoban

1. "Vacation" means going to Brandon for the weekend.

2. You measure distance in hours.

3. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

4. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.

5. You use a down comforter in the summer.

6. Your grandparents drive at 100 km/h through four meters of snow during a blizzard, without flinching.

7. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.

8. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

9. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled. (That is sooooo Winnipeg)

10. You know both seasons: Winter and construction.

11. You are bundled up in three sweaters, a parka, ski pants, a toque, two pairs of mittens, boots past your knees in 3 feet of snow in a -35 (-8000 with the wind-chill) blizzard, your eyelashes are frozen together, your nose is running, you can't feel your toes, and you still stop at 7 Eleven for a Slurpee on the way home.

12. You actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your friends from Manitoba

Awww Tim, I live in a place where I can still wear shorts and tees, we hardly get any snow

Naw, Winnipeg wasn't that bad...I spent the first 10 years of my life there...my bio father is somehwere out there too. Be nice if I could find him

Some day I'll visit Manitoba. I hear the summer is great there and some years it even falls on a weekend.

[Manitoban Herps]

Yes the summers are great here, but this years wasn't.....it sucked!

Winnipeg isn't a bad place, it just needs more snake breeders, I think all of the breeders from B.C should come live out here...I don't think they will come though...

I lived and B.C when I was younger, it was great but maybe it could just stop raining?

[Lindze]

That is the truest thing ive ever heard about Manitoba, lol. Except me holidays are going to Winnipeg and its not that we need more breeders in Winnipeg, in Manitoba too!!
