You've been on television at least 3 times describing the sound of a

tornado.

You take pride in knowing that on Saturdays, Memorial stadium is the third

largest city in the state.

You brag to other Nebraskan's about being from Omaha.

You know how to pronounce Beatrice, Norfolk and Kearney.

"Back East" means Chicago.

You think pheasants are the most beautiful bird in the world.

You know that the statue on the dome of the state capital is actually sowing

seed - not bowling.

You can drive through towns like Wahoo with a straight face.

You know what "knee high by the Fourth of July" refers to.

You can tell the difference between a horse and a cow from a distance.

You consider using your life savings to go to the Colorado-Nebraska football

game.

There's a tornado warning and you go outside to watch for it.

You think the "Red Sea" refers to the football stadium on Saturdays.

Using the elevator involves a corn truck.

You know cow pies aren't made of beef.

You actually buy manure.

You listen to "Paul Harvey" every day at noon.

You can tell the smell of a skunk and the smell of a feed lot apart.

Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the

highway.

You know several people who have hit a deer.

Your school classes were canceled because of the cold.

Your school classes were canceled because of the heat.

You switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition...

Example: "Where's my coat at?"

You can actually locate Nebraska on the United States map.

Detassling was your first job.

You voted for a football coach for Congress.

You can't understand why Johnny Carson ever left!!!

 
You know you live in Nebraska
If you see a guy wearing a hat shaped like a giant ear of corn and your first thought is: "I should get one of those."

(Or if you already have one. Like me.)

 
You know your from Nebraska when you see people wearing hunting clothes in a store, and you DONT think its weird. And I'am guilty of wearing hunting clothes into a store.

These might only apply to parts outside of Lincoln/Omaha, but

You decide to get some excersie by going for a walk, and five people stop and offer you a ride.

When you meet an on coming car, the other driver will wave at you, even if you dont know them.

Sounds like Western Kansas to me as well
Sounds a lot like Oklahoma. We have towns such as Okemah, Wetumka and Miami (and no, it's not pronounced like the Florida city but instead Miam-mah...I kid you not)
