See, I honestly thought "almost all of these!" I didn't really even get why some of them were strange enough to be listed on a "Only in Missouri" kind of list. Am I really so strange that I wouldn't even know I was that strange???
"32. You think a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor."
That's true out where I live, too. We also have people stop in the middle of the intersection to talk. I don't mean while walking...I mean in their cars.
Yes! And how about just in the middle of the road? One car coming from one direction and the other car in front of you. Even though you are obviously behind them, they stop to chat anyway....leaving no possible way to get around them. grrrr
