You Know You're In A Small Town ...

by Anonymous

When Third Street is on the edge of town.

When you write a check on the wrong bank and it covers you anyway.

When the undertaker supplements his income with a furniture store.

When you miss a Sunday at church and receive a get-well card.

When a 55 year old farmer is still referred to as "Young Johnson"

When someone asks how you feel and listens to what you say.

When the nicest house in town has a beauty shop on the back porch.

When you drive into the ditch five miles out of town and the word gets back before you do.

When you can't walk for exercise because every car that passes you offers you a ride.

When you dial a wrong number and talk for 15 minutes anyway.

When you speak to each dog you pass by name, and he wags at you.

When everyone's cap has a seed company's emblem on it.

When you don't use your turn signal because everyone knows where you are going.

When a crowd gathers on main street and looks toward the fire hall when the whistle blows.

When the banker will figure your income tax if you help him sort through the shoebox.
