You know you live in Utah when:

Green Jell-O with carrots or apples, or pineapple or cheese doesn't seem strange.

Partying means Kool-Aid and Cookies.

You are sick of hearing stupid jokes or even innocent comments about polygamy.

Holding a Starbucks coffee cup is a major political statement.

So is wearing a Marlboro t-shirt.

Copper, Powder, and Coal are soft and fuzzy.

Skin moisturizer is a necessity.

You carry lip balm everywhere - And you use it regularly.

You know why they invented the Ultra-Super Big Gulp (256 oz.)

Your 15 passenger family van has 10 Ultra-Super Big Gulp Holders.

You Think a Chevy Suburban is a SUV for normal families.

You not only know what a Swamp Cooler is, your house came with one.

You can pronounce Tooele. (Two-Willa) and Mantua (man-a-way).

The U is not just a letter - Neither is Y.

Your local gas station doesn't sell beer, cigarettes, or Playboy.

You actually eat 'funeral potatoes' as a side dish on a regular basis.

"The Church" only means one thing - no matter what religion you are.

That's weird, there is nobody on the freeway - oh wait, it's Sunday.

You feel guilty for mowing your lawn on Sunday.

You've gotten both heat and frost burns off your car's door handle in the same month.

You are not surprised to hear words like Darn, Fetch, Flip, 'Oh my heck', and Shoot.

Your neighbor is a bishop, but he never wears fancy robes and works at 7-11. :holy:

7-11 is closed on Sunday.

Democrats are evil, smoking, baby killers!!! :evil:

You know the difference between a 'Steak House' and a 'Stake House'.

Your tulips get snowed on three times after they come up and twice more after they bloom.

Hunting season is a school holiday.

Buying enough food for two years is not strange.

The largest liquor dealer is the state government.

You have at least one set of relatives with the surname Young, Lee or Smith.

You can be a Gentile AND Jewish at the same time.

You forgot to water your lawn yesterday and now your grass is dead.

You've done LDS, but never tried LSD.

You know tons of Idaho jokes.

You can't buy a white collared shirt without being asked where you're going on your mission.

No none can pronounce the "ale" sound proporly - it's "ell." Hence, it isn't going to "hail," but rather it's going to "hell."

As opposed to every other high school on earth, the virgins are considered the cool kids, while the "known" are the fringe.

Pages of the Book of Mormon make excellent zig-zag paper.

Grown men, in a fit of pure murderous rage, will call someone an "effing A-hole!"

If you cut someone off on the freeway, they will flip you off with their ring finger.

You aren't drinking soda...you're drinking pop.

More later...

Sidenote - hey Kit...what do you suppose the chances are of you and I being the only people participating in this thread? :lol: :D

This thread, extending in effect an invitation to make negative generalizations about a specific religious group, is now closed.
