You know you're in Mississippi when......


The morning radio show is called  "Rick and Bubba"

All political discussions on the radio...., wait there are no discussions. This is a neon red state.

5 country stations, 2 soft rock stations, 3 christian stations, and one R&B station.

The ratio of McCain/Obama lawn signs are 10/1

There is a "lunch plate special" at every diner in town.

I have met 3 mayors who have come to these schools to introduce the show. AND THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME.

Tupelo is considered a "city"

When doing warm ups before a show, the P.E. teacher asks if you are having a seizure. 
(true story)

There is a Wal Mart 5 miles in either direction.

As the site of Elvis' birth and childhood home, there is a crazy lady talking and laughing to herself, or maybe to a leaf she thought was Elvis..... one of the two.

Every sponsor I meet that introduces our show feels the need to explain the genius behind when he was in a school play back in 1974 and changed the one line he had to get a laugh. The best one was when this guy explained to me what a dress rehearsal was. I heart people.

There is a pecan store named after a 1970's KKK enthusiast.
