You might live in Maine if:

  • You instinctively walk like a penguin 6 months of the year.
  • Your town has as many bars as churches
  • Someone offers you assistance in a hardware store and they don't work there.
  • You design your kid's Halloween costume fit over a snowsuit.
  • Winter driving is better than summer because the pot holes are filled with snow.
  • You measure distance in hours not miles.
  • Your landscaping includes a toilet flower bed, a foam deer target, or abandoned car.
  • You own more than 4 pairs of gloves.

Maine-ahs have a great sense of humor, I mean we have to in order to deal with those long winters. Some exceptionally funny people from Maine are Bob Marley, Comedian, and Tim Sample seen above explaining Maine humor.
