Forget Rednecks, here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about
Canooks.

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of Muncie for the weekend, you may live in Canada Not sure where this is! Muncie is about 50 miles NE of Indianapolis and is the home of Ball State University and was the subject of the book Middletown, a sociological look at the "average" American town. Its amazing how Indiana seems to slip and slide across the continent. I had no idea we were now in Canada!


If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back
again, you may live in Canada Absolutely! Hmmm. Sounds a lot like Indiana. I remember when the temperature dropped 50 some degrees in one day. Went to work and left the window down in my car because it was so hot and that night there was snow on my seat!


If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled
with snow, you may live in Canada haha! Yup, except here we call 'em chuckholes. Now, my question is, where do the guts of a chuckhole go? You don't see big chunks of asphalt laying around, just the fine stuff that gets in the tread of your tires. One of the mysteries of the universe I suppose.

I think now what he means is that only Canadians would think of Muncie as a vacation hotspot destination--instead of Hawaii, Mexico, etc.

Maybe, like sinkholes, it collapses? And whatever doesn't collapse, winds up in car windshields.
