Kick Starting Your Week With Some Upstate Humor

With an upcoming comedy show on April 23rd at Witherbee's, it got us in the mood for some upstate humor. So courtesy of Jeff Foxworthy, here is his take on life in Upstate New York: 

"You might live in upstate New York if..."

"If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Upstate New York."

"If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights a year because Saranac Lake is the coldest spot in the nation, and Syracuse gets more snow than any other major city in the US, you might live in Upstate NY."

"If your local ice cream stand is closed from October through May, you might live in Upstate New York." (NOT APPLICABLE TO SCHROON -- THANK YOU STEWART'S!!!)

"If you get 131 inches of snow in a week and you comment that 'winter's finally here', you might live near Oswego in Upstate New York."

"If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you might live, bundled up, in Upstate New York."

"If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Upstate NY."

"If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Upstate New York."

"If you have worn shorts and a parka on the same day, you might live in Upstate New York."

"If you have had a lengthy phone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Upstate New York."
