You know you're from Lima if. . .

(Forwarded by Gail Basinger Original source unknown) You think of Fat Jack's as dining out. You know that Dave Thomas copied Wendy's from Kewpee's. Februcherry and Marchocolate are part of your vocabulary. You think LCI is Lima Correctional Institution, not a long distance company. You say, "Kalida with a K." You wonder why the TB hospital closed, and know that its haunted/inhabited by the homeless drug dealers. You have called Lima "The Bean, Beantown, Bean City" and know that we have a city mascot named "Beanie" that is, in fact, a giant green lima bean with a red hat displaying his name. You got hurt sledding at the reservoir or Farout Park. You went to the Ronald McDonald House for an elementary school field trip. (and JDC) You miss Chi-Chi's. You wish the American Mall still had the cheap theatre and the cool arcade. (with air hockey and laser tag) You say Square Fair is for squares, but you always end up going anyway because there's nothing better to do. You've gotten drunk in a barn/cornfield. You immediately conjure up a picture in your mind when someone says a person is from -Shawnee, Bath, Elida, Lima Senior, LCC, Perry, or Delphos. You still wonder what happened to the big fountain in the middle of the Lima Mall. You think all milk comes from Hefner Dairy. You use the directions to emphasize you're traveling somewhere,-- phrases such as "going up" to Cleveland, "going down to Columbus." You went to the "Vortex" aka Night moves with the 14 year olds (or was one of them) that sneak in because there was nothing better to do. You've ever done donuts in a parking lot for an extended period of time. You catch yourself singing the "Pat's Donuts and Creme" and "Yargers can do" jingles. You know Kewpee has the best hamburgers on the planet. You actually know what L.I.M.A. stands for:   LOST IN MIDDLE  AMERICA. And that there's a movie about it.
