Common Sense Living

My stepsister just sent this to me. It is soooo true.

Subject: CHICAGO
 
            Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about…. Chicago
 
            If your local Dairy Queen is closed from October through April,
            you live in Chicago.
 
            If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they
            don’t work there, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you’ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in
            Chicago.
 
            If you’ve had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who
            dialed a wrong number, you live in Chicago.
 
            If “Vacation” means going anywhere south of I – 80 for the
            weekend, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you measure distance in hours, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you have switched from “Heat” to “A/C” in the same day and
            back again, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging
            blizzard without flinching, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use
            them, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a
            snowsuit, you live in Chicago.
 
            If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph — you’re going 80
            and everybody is passing you, you live in Chicago.
 
            If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are
            filled with snow, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you know all 4 seasons as: almost winter, winter, still
            winter and road construction, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you
            live in Chicago.
 
            If you find 10 degrees “a little chilly”, you live in Chicago.
 
            If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all
            your friends and others, you live or lived in Chicago.
 
I just can’t decide if this is funny or sad?
