And then there is Wyoming

You Know You're From Wyoming When...
"Vacation" means going to Cheyenne for the weekend.
You have ever uttered the term " Greenie!"
It's "BIG NEWS" if a non-Wyoming friend saw a celebrity once.
Down south to you means Colorado.
All the festivals across the state are named after terrain features or Indian tribes.
You know what a Jackalope is.
You know that Devils Tower is in Wyoming and that it is not where the devil lives.
You know that Yellowstone is in Wyoming, not Montana.
You know that Wyoming is in the United States, not Canada. (Or a suburb of Denver)
You drink pop; not soda.
You never knew there was a taxi service in your town.
Down south to you means Colorado.
You only paid $5.00 to cut your own Douglas Fir Christmas tree.
You pawned a snow blower instead of a set of golf clubs.
The elevation is five times higher than the population on the city welcome sign.
There are more oil pumping units than trees.
Antelope outnumber the sheep.
Wide open spaces mean 120 miles to the next rest stop.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Wyoming.
