Out of the Closet: As an ex-Milwaukeean

You Know You're From Milwaukee When...

You've been to the Rep and could smell beer, brats, and kraut. You drive around with little Green Bay Packers flags on your car. You and your friends spend all day Sunday drinking at the bar, bashing the Cubs. You don't know that Schlitz, Blatz, and Pabst aren't brewed in Milwaukee anymore You know people who have tied dead animals to the hoods of their cars. You know what a "Supper Club" is. You've eaten beer, brats, and kraut for breakfast. You think "The Safe House" is better than Disneyworld. You won't let a car from out of state go faster than you. You call Air Force Ones Dookies No matter where you go you see the Jesus Car - and can't understand what's coming out the speakers You cruised Hwy 100 or Sherman Ave To you, Martin Luther King Drive is still 3rd St. and Cesar Chavez Drive is still 16th St You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Milwaukee.

Very true that bit about not letting anyone with an out-of-state license plate drive faster than you. Several times when I've been back in Wisconsin, I've rented a car that had Illinois license plates...Ooh, I could just feel the animosity. Of course, when I've rented a car with WI license plates I revert back to "screw those out-of-staters" mode.
