I saw this group on Facebook last night and thought it was really funny... most of these are true! I cut and pasted it (and took out the really tacky ones with bad words) and posted it for all of my Memphis family members!
YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM MEMPHIS WHEN:
-When you see a liquor store on one side of the street and a church on the other side.
-Everyone you know either works at FedEx or has worked there.
-You knew not to go into Overton Park after dark.
-When our crime rate is something we strive to be tops in every year.
-The main attraction at the most expensive hotel are ducks
-You know a "cousin" of Justin Timberlake
-You know that MusicFest = Mudfest
-Prince Mongo & Jerry "The King" Lawler are on the Mayors ballot
-You went to the Mall of Murder, Ice Skated, and survived to tell about it!
-You have waited for 4 hours to get a drivers license or have your car inspected..
-You dont really care about the Grizzlies, but you love the TIGERS!
- Orange Mound to G'town you gotta represent.
-You know what real Barbecue is.
-Nonconnah means Autobahn
-You're scared of Germantown Cops
- Someone in your family has an Elvis story
-Your're proud of the number one violent crime rate Memphis holds. Because that means you survived living in Memphis.
-Our tap water is like your Evian.
-Our mayor does drugs, how hardcore is that?
-You drive like your gonna kill everyone else.
-You just call the Mississippi "The River."

-You still call it Memphis State
-You know that if you live anywhere in the city limits you're only a street or two away from ghetto.
-Somebody says "201", the first thing that comes to mind aint got nothin to do with a clock. I bet you'd be hard pressed to find another city where everyone in the city knows the street address of the jail!
-You've had to explain to an out of towner while driving down I-40 that Bellevue is not an airport.
-You go to Raliegh and you know you'll hear gunshots, and simply say "Oh, someone got shot," like it's a common occurance.
-You speed everywhere, EXCEPT Bartlett and Germantown.
-You drive on the same road and it's name changes several times the further you go.
-You know there are at least seven Macon Roads, Kirby Roads, and Raliegh LaGranges.
-You know Corey B. Trotz's number by heart.

Love the Memphis stuff. I have never lived in Memphis but Mitch has and I think that it is hilarious, because they are all so true. I hate having to drive in Memphis and agree about Nonconnah being the Autobahn.
