Are  you aware that Jeff Foxworthy is now picking on Michigan ? Read on.   (pretty funny and accurate) 1. If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through  18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by,  you might live in Michigan  2. If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Pellston is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live  in Michigan  3. If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Michigan 4. If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of  the year, you might live in Michigan 5. If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Michigan  6. If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Michigan  7. If you have worn shorts and a coat at the same time, you might  live in Michigan 8. If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Michigan
