If you’re from Indiana and don’t know what’s knee high by the fourth of July, you should be shot.
[comment deleted due to no sense of humor.]
Terre haute is french and means high land. anyone with an education knows that (and may even know that Indiana was french in the past).
Haha.
Well the jokes were true, But I’m from Indiana (Born in California)and it’s actually kind of sad to see how many people were saying they were a proud “Hoosier”.
Indiana is the most sorry state in the entire country…
Next to Nebraska, Kansas, And Kentucky (2 Million people, 15 last names.) 😀
But anyways, all the people saying they were from Indiana spelled almost everything wrong fml.
“Anyways????” Lord, I’m a hoosier and even I caught that!
Woahwoahwoah wait…not everyone knows what cow tipping is?! I thought everyone did
corn should be knee high by the fourth of july (:
you know you are from indiana when it is 2011 and you can still walk aroud and see someone with a mullet. haha born and raised in indiana and proud of it. 🙂
This…is…sadly true hahaha I was also born and raised in indiana
Some are true and others are not. And too those who say we are the most sorry state, hahaha yeah funny, we work our butts of and don’t get recognized. Yeah sorry state I’m proud to be a Hoosier. 🙂
4th generation Hoosier here and most are true. I’ve met celebs because I work at Hollywood casino. But other than that…. PROUD Hoosier. I live in a town with less than 600 ppl and I had the best childhood video games almost didn’t exist to us just because we were outside from the time we got home from school till the time we got called to dinner. I’ve built forts I’ve ridden horses down the middle if the road. I fished all day and all night. We bridge jumped almost on a daily basis. So Indiana pathetic not quite… You did leave out a good on though.
Indiana is so flat that you can see your dog running away for 6 days.
You know you’re from Indiana when…you attempt to become a writer for “The Simpsons”, only to be denied because you didn’t graduate from Harvard.
It’s catty corner not kitty lol
