Aren't you looking forward to winter already? "IT'S SO HOT IN Southern Illinois THAT......" The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground in Bone Gap. The potatoes cook underground in Albion , and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper. Farmers in Edwards County are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. Down in Grayville the catfish have ticks and have forgotten how to swim. An Ellery man fainted and they threw sand in his face to bring him to. The cows out at Tennis Dairy Farm are giving evaporated milk. Robins in Albion have to soak their worms before they can be swallowed. The trees in Beall Woods are whistling for the dogs. A sad Albionite once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old." A visitor to West Salem once asked, "Does it ever rain out here?" A homeboy quickly answered "Yes, it does. Do you remember that part in the Bible where it rained for 40 days and 40 nights?" The visitor replied, Yes, I'm familiar with Noah's flood." "Well," the guy from West Salem puffed up, we got about two and a half inches of that." "YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN Southern Illinois WHEN..." You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water. You can say 110 degrees without fainting. You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off. You can make instant sun tea. You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron. The temperature drops below 90, and you feel a bit chilly. You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car. You discover that you can get a sun burn through your car window. You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. Hot water now comes out of both taps. Its noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets. You actually burn your hand opening the car door. You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:00 a.m. before work. You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. But................yall gotta love Southern Illinois !!! ------ End of Forwarded Message ____________________________________________________________[1]53 Year Old Mom Looks 33 The Stunning Results of Her Wrinkle Trick Has Botox Doctors Worried [2]consumerproducts.com Confidentiality Notice: This message is intended only for the named recipient and may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.
