THE RULES OF WEST VIRGINIA ARE AS FOLLOWS:

by | Jan 27, 2013 | Hott Laughs | 3 comments

I’m a WV girl. Yup, there it is. My sis-in-law, also a WV girl, emailed this to me she received it from another WV girl. Uh-Huh… it goes like that 😉

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Turn your cap right, your head isn’t crooked.

3. Let’s get this straight, it’s called a “dirt road.” I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

4. They are cattle. They’re live steaks. That’s why they smell funny to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? Rt. 50 goes east and west, I-79 goes north and south. Pick one.

5. So you have a $60,000 car. We’re impressed. We have $150,000 corn pickers and hay balers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

6. So every person in West Virginia waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

7. If that cell phone rings while an 8-point buck and 3 does are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.

8. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.

9. The “Opener” refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

11. No, there’s no “vegetarian special” on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup. Oh, yeah…. We don’t care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat.. IT AIN’T REAL CHILI!!

13. You bring “coke” into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.

14. You bring “Mary Jane” into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

15. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don’t hit the water hazards — it spooks the fish.
17. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities, Community Colleges, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come for the holidays.

18. We have a whole ton of folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. So don’t mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.

19. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain’t music, anyway. We don’t want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers. Refer back to #1.

20. 4 inches isn’t a blizzard – it’s a flurry. Drive like you got some sense in it, and DON’T take all our bread, milk, and bleach from the grocery stores. This ain’t Alaska, worst case you may have to live a whole day without croissants. The pickups with snow blades will have you out the next day.

A true West Virginian will send this on!!!

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!

It's been a bit of a rough year. We're handling it well but sometimes we wonder how much more we can handle. I was riding down the road with Zany the other day and said "I'm a bit emotional today so don't worry if I start crying." Zany responded, "Great, who died this...

    I didn’t know you lived there! We were there two summers ago. We went to Busch Gardens we love it there. Although there was another place up the road we went too also and personally I like that place better. The walk-ways or old streets they had in there was much easier to walk on too and better stores and my husband said they had better rides. 🙂 I’m going to have to tell hubby I know someone there now. He’ll get a kick out of it. Love your pics and Post here girlfriend.

      Xmasdolly, Busch Gardens is in Virginia not West Virginia. I too live in WEST Virginia and didn’t realize that you were from WV. I live in Pendleton County, which part do you live in?
