This killed me.

You know you are from Memphis when:

_________________________________________________________________________________

-Beale street is what you look forward to when you turn 21.

-You think it's stylish to put spinners on an '81 Buick Skylark

-You've had to explain to an out of towner while driving down I-40 that Bellevue Baptist is not an airport.

-Everything is Coke

-The 8 a.m. rush hour is from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The 5:00 p.m. rush hour is from 3:30p.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.

-"Sir" and "Ma'am" are used by the person speaking to you if there's a remote possibility that you're at least 30 minutes older than they are.

-"Sugar" is a more common form of address than "Miss." So is "Honey," And don't be offended; it is used by both sexes.

-the falling of one raindrop causes all traffic to immediately come to a screeching halt. So will Daylight Savings Time, a girl applying eye shadow across the street, or a flat tire three lanes over. Should (God forbid) one snowflake fall in Memphis, all drivers on the roads immediately lose any ability to control a car. Or, if in a pickup truck or SUV, they will drive as though the roads are dry.

-Pedestrians in Memphis have the right-of-way.... but it is a driver's duty to take out the pedestrian when crossing the street.

- You understand what Makin Easy Money Pimpin Hoes In Style really stands for.

- You survived the Ice Storm of '94

-Even though it is the largest indoor arena in the region, there is no easy way to reach The Pyramid. You must drive under a series of interstate off-ramps and through the back of a concrete company in order to park. Once you reach the building, you must climb up dozens of steps, even if your seats are at floor level, which means you will be climbing back DOWN dozens of steps after entering the arena

- Radio rap is not real rap.
-Your scared of Germantown Cops

-You went to see the Nutcracker every year from elementary to middle school

-Your proud of the number one violent crime rate memphis holds. Because that means you survived living in Memphis.

-Rednecks or not, we still can kick your ass.

-you remember when construction on the main library had to stop for about 4 years because the architects didn't take into account the weight of the books.

-Our tap water is like your evian.

-Our mayor does drugs, how hardcore is that?

- The weather doesnt go with the season

- You just call the Mississippi "The River."

-All year long you look forward to May... because Musicfest is in May

-youve had to switch the thermostat from heat to airconditioning in the same day

-you know you can make it anywhere in memphis in "about 15 minutes"

- 201 poplar is one place you dont want to visit

- you have met one of the members in Three Six Mafia on the street

- everyone hates the mayor, yet somehow, we are still under the reign of King Willy

- you only have to drive 20 minutes to see the set of "Hustle & Flow"

-everybody thinks they are from the hood

-You've never been to Graceland.

-When you wait in line for 30 mins for Fast Food

-Remember the Mall of Murder

-If you head to walmart after a party while you are drunk at 5am "to get some things"

- if you call Wolf Chase "the old mall" and The Avenue Crossing "the new mall".

- if you know that c'ville high is the biggest drug hub ever.

- Orange Mound and Nutbush aren't things to be laughing about.

- University of Memphis is known as Tiger High.

-People think Republican means "White" and Democrat means "Black"
