Funny.. I think a good part of those apply to Nova Scotia as well. The one about the weather most of all.

Enjoyed them, here's what I'm guilty of:

- Scattered showers with outbreaks of sunshine and a cold northerly wind is your idea of good weather.

- You always greet people by talking about the weather.

- You wait at the shop counter for 1p (penny here in USA) change.

- You lose all respect for a groom who doesn't wear a kilt.

- You are able to conduct a 20-minute phone call using three words only: Awright, aye, and naw.

- You measure distance in minutes.

- You can make a whole sentence using only swear words.

I'm on for a good solid eight of those.

Yeah I have a few those down for sure.

Especially greeting people with the weather.

Oh my gods... I'm guilty of nearly every single one of those... My parents planned their wedding around the Ohio State/Michigan game in 1968. I've often joked that I was made in America with Scottish and Irish parts... It seems the Scot parts are the dominant ones!

Guess I'm not very Scottish, I can only make a sentence using swear words....that's about it for me from this list.

In Wisconsin,

- You have an irrational need to eat anything from the chippy, as long as it's deep fried: Haggis, pizza, white pudding, sausage, fish, chicken and battered Mars bars.
- You are able to conduct a 20-minute phone call using three words only: Awright, aye, and naw.
- When you refuse the offer of a drink, you hear, "You no well?"
- You can fall when drunk and not spill your drink.
- You measure distance in minutes.
- You can make a whole sentence using only swear words.
- You know someone who planned their wedding around the football matches.
- You have been to a wedding where the football results have been announced in church.

...also hold true. Jalouse we're nae sae unalike efter aw!
