Possums sleep in the middle of the
road with their feet in the air.

There is only dinner and then there is supper.
Iced tea is appropriate for all meals...
and you start drinking it when you're two.
Backards and forards means 'I know everything about you.'
'DJeet? is actually a phrase meaning 'Did you eat?'
You don't have to wear a watch
because it doesn't matter what time it is.
You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.
You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH them.
You know the distance between stops on 'The Wine Trail'.
You measure distance in miles.
You've had to switch from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day.
You know who/which store has the best deal on cases of Natural Light
beer.
'Fix' is a verb. Example: 'I'm fixing to go to the store.
All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit,
vegetable, grain, insect or animal.
You install security lights on your house and garage and leave
both unlocked.
You know what a 'DAWG' is.

EVERYONE can't be from Missouri ; it takes talent. You might say it's
an art form or a gift from God!
Just do it in the dirt.
Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved
body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..
What a Ride!!
