I got this in an email from a friend and thought it was pretty accurate and good for a laugh...

20 Ways to Determine if you are a real Alabamian

1. You can properly pronounce Arab, Cahaba, Opelika, Sylacauga, Oneonta, Eufaula, and Wedowee.

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are: sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is determined: not by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.

6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at funerals.

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes. ("It's about 5 minutes down the road")

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

13. You have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14. You aren't surprised to find movie rentals, ammunition, beer, and bait all in the same store

15. A Mercedes-Benz isn't a status symbol. A Ford F-350 4x4 Extended Bed Crew Cab Dually is.
