Saw a similar discussion on my lot and saw this on facebook by the comedian Jeff Foixworthy and thought this was so funny since i have lived my life in Missouri.

This is the first time that I've seen these, but then again I'm not from Missouri and I've only been there once in my life.
The thing that I did think was really funny about all of these jokes that you've shared here is that there are a lot of them that could be alternated for another state.
One that really stood out to me as being something that could happen if you are from Kentucky (as I am) is if you've ever switched from heat to a/c on the same day.

March 14 2013 we had a/c heat off for most the day because it was so warm outside in the 70's. Then at night we had to turn the heat back on because it got down to the 40's. The next day it was back into the 30's and 40's with snow lol.

That is neat. I have seen those about other places too. When I see them sometimes I wonder if any of them are true. I know some people who put them on like face book to just try to be funny or to make fun of a place.
