Any truth to the old story that in Wisconsin, if you fail your drivers test three times, they issue a yellow license plate ?

Not any more.

Growing up in Alabama, I thought all soft drinks were called "Cokes."
Except for RC's, of course.

You know what the Lambeau Leap is, who started it, AND when it was started.

Leroy Butler, on an interception against the Rams, 1993.

BTW, don't insult cheeseheads. Cheeseheads save lives. One man used it to protect himself in a plane crash. Others have been using them in addition to throw cushions on their boats--and think the cheeseheads float better.

Can I try a few?

You know you're from Wisconsin When...

You know that Kaukauna is not a Hawaiian island.

You understand the saying "When you're out of Point, you're out of town."

You know that Leinenkugels is not a brand of bagel.

You are aware that "Eau Claire" is not a filled and frosted pastry.

You know what kind of fish the ice fishermen are trying to spear on Lake Winnebago.

You recognize a Sheboygan accent.

You can brag about an alpine lake that's only a few hundred feet above sea level.

You can smell the difference between the emissions from a paper factory and the emissions from a cottage cheese factory.

You can't understand why speed-skating isn't on TV more often.

You know that "Fond du Lac" is not a Scandinivian form of dining where meat or cheese on long forks is dipped into various pots.

No offense was intended. If offense was taken, I apologize.

She was unaware that it had snowed the previous night and the snow was packed as high is her garage door was tall..... The dog looked up at her just as she looked down at him - -- - she told him to just go and pee in the cornor....

She must've been from the South and you know how dey are. Dey can't drive in dat snow, nor on ice neither. Up here, we fire up dat snowblower first ting in da morning so's we can get to work. My neighbor snowblows all night to get rid of da snow, dontcha know, even does my sidewalk, but he's retired from da paper mill.

Just know they save lives. Not in the category of firefighters, of course, but they hold a revered place in WiscoLore.
