You know you're in Red Flannel country if....
ok, so I edited this and localized it a bit....
1. The church finance committee refuses to provide funds for the purchase of a chandelier because none of the members knows how to play one.
2. People ask, when they learn that Jesus fed the 5000, whether the two fish were Walleye or Northerns, and what bait was used to catch them.
3. Opening day of deer season is recognized as an official local holiday. (We call it "Deer Monday" and even the factory is closed)
4. One of the local folks asked to be buried in his 4-wheel-drive truck because "It ain't never been in a hole it couldn't get out of."
5. In a congregation of 500 members, there are only seven last names in the church directory.
6. People think "rapture" is what you get when you lift something too heavy.
7. The church choir robes were donated by and embroidered with the logo from Marvin Windows and Doors.
8. The collection plates at the church are really hubcaps from George Marvin's 1956 Chevy.
9. "Thou shall not covet" applies to hunting dogs, too.
10. The only Saturday of the year that the bank is open is "Bonus Day".
Anyone have any others to add?
