Wisconsin Top 10

Welcome to the curry nightmare. Indian girl gone Wisconsite tells all about her adventures in cowtown. Post your comments!

10. Every guy I meet is either works construction, plows snow, or is missing teeth. I get impressed if a gentleman is able to articulate his feelings with words that have multiple syllables.

9. At my company holiday shindig, I wore an Indian outfit, and was asked (no joke) if I was Chinese.

8. The day I lose my underground, heated parking spot (because I live in a studio, we don’t get parking spots so I was paying for mine until the apartment was occupied)…it snows 5 inches and I have to scrape my car in the morning.

8a. While I’m scraping my car, the wind is blowing about 10 mph and blows snow in my face.8b. Of course, I refuse the let the winter get to me…so I decide to never dress ‘Wisconsite.’ While I’m scraping snow with wind blowing in my face, my cute pin striped pants are wet to my ankles.

7. The extent of all recreational activities leads to drinking, drinking, and yes, more drinking.

6. Additional excuses to drink include ice fishing, hunting bambi, and watching the Badgers or Packers.

5. At company parties, we have chili cook-offs. BYOB stands for bring your own “brat.”

4. My car wouldn’t start this morning because it was -9 over night and the battery froze.

3. The place to be on Thursday nights is ‘The Dry Bean” – a cowboy karaoke bar

2. When there is construction around here, none of the detours make sense. So, people get out of their vehicles, remove the ‘road closed’ signs, and simply drive through the construction.

2a. No roads are intuitive here. County roads are named after letters of the alphabet. “Take M east to P west.” When they run out of letters, they double them up.

1. Hummas are considered exotic cuisine here.
