You might be from Louisville (KY) if…

  • your “International” airport has only one passenger flight that actually leaves the 48 contiguous U.S. states. (Louisville “would-like-to-be” International Airport)
  • the in-state sports rivalry is paid more attention to than the national championship.
  • you live in an area that occasionally gets considerable snowfalls, floods, and tornadoes, but has no capacity to deal with any of the above.
  • you pronounce the name of your city different than anyone else you’ve heard.  (Lullvull, Luavull, Lewisville, Looeyvull…)
  • you sound like a hick to a majority of people outside of Kentucky.
  • you think the rest of the people in Kentucky sound like hicks.
  • when you think “Kentucky” you don’t automatically think horse racing or fried chicken.
  • you ask your doctor for an allergy cure and he tells you to “move.”
  • you’ve ever taken a winter coat along on a day that starts out 65 degrees and sunny…   (it might get cold by afternoon)
  • …or you’ve ever shovelled 10+ inches of snow and worn shorts in the same week.
  • you’ve ever experienced a “salt storm” after a two-inch snowfall.  (seriously–there was more salt on the road than there ever was snow…)
