Ok, This is a forward I got about growing up or living in MO. If you don't
like forwards, delete it now. I'm only 14 and get most of these MO jokes.
Remember, I'm sending this in good humor and I'm not intending:
A) To put anyone down
B) Cause anyone e-mail problems
Please don't send me hate mail, I don't like it, it doesn't help my
self-esteem.

Here is a list from back home in Misouri.
If you can answer at least ten of these questions correctly,
you must know someone from Missouri.
If you can answer at least twenty of these questions,
we must be neighbors.
If you can answer them all, we must be related!
