If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Indiana.
If you have ever worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Indiana.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Indiana.
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Indiana.
