Definitely! These are hysterical - and putting lack of snow at the top of the list was an inspired choice if ever there was one. [lghy]

These are great!  I'm torn between "the population doubles after sunset", the "bite me" t-shirt and the "if you lived here you'd be dead by now".

Thanks for the laughs!

10.  The speed limit sign at the edge of town says "Run like hell."

9.  Instead of a deer crossing sign, there is a werewolf crossing sign.

8.  You stop at the local service station and they clean bats instead of bugs off your windshield.

7.  The dentist advertises 2 for the price of 1  fang polishing.

6.  Any tree or bush you touch nearly  topples over.

5.  Your date's idea of a fun time is a trip to a mausoleum.

4.  Everyone wears scarves around their necks even in the middle of summer.

3.  The men disappear at dusk and the women start roaming the woods looking for them.

2.  Instead of dialing 911 for emergencies.. you dial  1-800-J U L I A

and the Number One sign you are in Collinsport is:

1.  A red-headed woman approaches you and says.."Let me give you a sedative."

These are all great, but obviously this is my favorite. :)

These are wonderful!  Ever thought of doing this for a living?  Thank you all for the Friday afternoon chuckles. [lghy]

It's a tough call, but the population doubling after sunset is certainly one of my favorites.

Gotta show this to GingerCat; she needs a good laugh or two!

Oh my God! I'm still laughing at the red- headed woman and the rooster crowing. They're all great. Yes, Letterman may well be worried!!!

Oh, there are some REALLY good ones here. My favorites are about the lack of snow and "If you lived here, you'd be dead by now."

I always find it amusing that the same episode always has one woman in sleeveless dress, one in a sweater, and then someone comes in with a coat on. Seasons are like bathrooms in Collinsport, non-existent.
