You know you are in Iowa in July/August when: > >The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. > >Hot water now comes out of both taps. > >You can make sun tea instantly. > >You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. > >The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. > >You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car. > >You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window. > >You actually burn your hand opening the car door. > >You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. > >Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, " What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death ?" > >You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. > >The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper. > >Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs. > >The cows are giving evaporated milk. I got this through an email. :lol: |
