Subject: Fw: No one but a manitoban can understand this!
You know you're from Manitoba when... 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. 10. You know all four seasons: Almost winter, winter, still 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 noseis 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 in Manitoba.

Dang i should have figured that I have seen the T shirts Ya the first year here was the worst year for them (so i am told) the 100 yd dash to put the trash out or the deet on to walk the dog That was followed by the coldest December on record talk about payin your dues)

Bigbore: Don't worry about wearing deet. It attracts the bigger females in which case they cart you off and eat you. You can will your fly fishing stuff to me. I promise to take good care of it. 0wt on Channel Cats. Yahooo!!!!

after a while - they kind-of 'grow' on you and you become immune to them (or you blow-up like a hot-air balloon) and as for keepin yer mouth shut - well....... unless you're hungry .....
