People in Michigan have the last cookout before it gets cold.


20 degrees above zero:

People in Miami all die.
Michiganders close the windows.

Californians fly away to Mexico.
People in Michigan get out their winter coats.

I agree with everything but the last one. I have cooked out on the grill with 2 to 4 feet of snow on the ground.

Rofl! Thanks for the giggles!

This reminds me of something I read somewhere, can't remember where. A woman said she didn't realize her nipples were supposed to be soft until she moved from North Dakota to Texas. Rofl!!!

This is so funny. I do grill year round. It was down to 27 the past week. Cold for here cause of humidity. Had the air conditioner on for 3 days this weekend. Was 70, hot & muggy. Now it is 30 again. We never know from day to the next. We dress up in the morning & peel off in the afternoon.
