living in a small town, if you dropped and "F" bomb, your folks knew within the hour.

if you lived in a small town, you had to drive at least 30 miles to get to the nearest fast food joint. I had a 33 mile jaunt to get to a Hardee's.

The big "to do" in a small town on a Saturday night was "drag" main.

if you grew up in a small town, you didn't give directions by streeet names, but rather by reference;

Ok, go down past Nelson's like two blocks. Hang a right at Anderson's. And it's four places on the left past Carsten's crib.(referring to a corn crib)

a small town golf course only has 9 holes.

Growing up in a small town, it was IMPOSSIBLE not to date a good friend's ex

In a small town, you considered anyone with a house newer than 1965 as the "rich people"

It was cool to date someone from the next town over

You hated your rival town with every fiber of your being, even though it was exactly like your town. Growing up, we even came up with new nick-names for the next town over.

Our rival town was Guthrie Center, but we call it "CowTown", "SheepVille", "GonhorreaGulch" and our parents called it "GoofyCenter"

I got a letter of apology from the IRS for the "truly shoddy manner in which my case was handled". My accountant works for a big firm so she hung it on her door in triumph! Yes people - after 2 years the IRS was humbled.

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly and close to death. They are close to just lying down and waiting for the inevitable, when all of a sudden...

"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I sure of eet".

"Si, Luis, eet smells like bacon to meee".

So, with renewed strength, they struggle off up the next sand dune, and there, in the distance, is a tree, just loaded with bacon.

There's raw bacon, dripping with moisture, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon... every imaginable kind of cured pig meat you can imagine!!

"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Eees a bacon tree".

"Luis, are you sure ees not a meerage? We ees in the desert, don' forget".

"Pepe, when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell of bacon...ees no

meerage, ees a bacon tree".

And with that... Luis races towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres,

Pepe following closely behind, when all of a sudden, a machine gun opens

up, and Luis is cut down is his tracks. It is clear he is mortally wounded

but, true friend that he is, he manages to warn Pepe with his dying breath.

"Pepe...go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree"

"Luis, Luis mi amigo...what ees eet?" "Speek to me!"

"Pepe...ees not a bacon tree....

"Ees,
