Googled it and now got it (along with some Ohio jokes). However Shane didn't include the bit about those armies being led by Bonaparte so there is a chance after all {sm4} Just have to dig him up.
Oh, come on now. You know that the French cling to Boney like some of us Americans cling to our guns and religion. If you really want him you’d better be prepared to pry him from cold dead fingers.
And yes, I know I’m from Ohio because…
-I've never met any celebrities. (Unless you count re-enactors or toy soldier people)
-My idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway. (No, seriously)
-"Vacation" means driving through Hocking Hills or going to King's Island. (Season passes @ King’s Island)
-I measure distance in minutes. (Like for us its 15 minutes to the grocery store)
-Down south to me means Kentucky.
-I know several people who have hit a deer. (I actually own deer)
-My school classes were canceled because of cold. (Couldn't get the buses started)
-My school classes were canceled because of heat. (Not working that is)
-I've ridden the school bus for an hour each way.
-I've had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day. (We always say, If you don’t like the weather in Ohio wait five minutes)
-I think ethanol makes your truck "run a lot better." (And apparently it’s catching on with the rest of the country)
-I know what's knee-high by the Fourth of July. (Corn)
-I see people wear bib overalls at funerals. (With orange camouflaged hunting hats)
-I’ve seen a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year. (This happens all the time, no joke.)
-I end my sentences with an unnecessary preposition. Example: "Where's my coat at?" (Best of luck to HRH getting those English language improvements to catch on)
-All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, or grain. (This is also true, for us it’s the corn festival)
-I install security lights on my house and garage and leave both unlocked. (Wow, this is so true. Low crime rate though, must be the fact that everyone has dogs and guns. Oh, and we are a right to carry state by the way)
-I carry jumper cables in my car.
-I know what "cow tipping" or "Possum Kicking" is. (Great sports, way better than rugby or soccer, oops football)
-I design my kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. (I don’t have kids yet, but I’ve worn a Halloween costume over a snow suit)
-Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
-I think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
-I think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie. (Maybe some thigh-high nylons in place of the tube socks, but yes to the flannel nightie)
-The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires 6 pages for sports. (Especially Football, American Football that is)
-I think that deer season is a national holiday. (Take off work every year)
-I know which leaves make good toilet paper. (If there’s three leave it be baby)
-I find -20 degrees F "a little chilly".
-I know all 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction.
-I know what a real buckeye is, and have a recipe for candy ones.
-I know if another Ohioian is from southern, middle or northern Ohio as soon as they open their mouth. (I’ve lived in all three so I can blend in, shhhhh….)
-I can spell words like Cuyahoga and Tuscarawas. (Google Cuyahoga, you wouldn’t want Boney to waste his troops fighting over that river, it’s the one that caught on fire a few years back)
-I know that Serpent Mound was not made by snakes. (Indians, Adena I think. It’s about 45 min. away from where I live)
-I actually get these jokes and forward them to all my Ohio friends. (And post them on the TF Forum because some Aussies think that Momma Liz would actually want this God forsaken place back in her possession)
-I just said "yup" and "uh-huh" or ain’t that the truth" to most of these!!! (Sad isn’t it)
