I've been thinking about life in the city for a while now. I grew up rural, moving to Chicago after college to "start my career." That was 16 years ago now. So, with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy here's my take on city life.
If you purchased a SUV with low-profile tires and spinning hub caps...you might be a city slicker.
If you purchased a SUV in a light color because it doesn't show dirt...you might be a city slicker.
If you drive across more than 2 lanes of of on-coming traffic to make a right-hand turn...you might be a city slicker.
If you believe honking your horn will clear a traffic jam...you might be a city slicker.
If you can stand at the intersection of two roads that have four different names and understand why...you might be a city slicker.
If somebody asks you how far away something is and you respond in minutes...you might be a city slicker.
If you believe a 3" pen knife poses a threat to society...you might be a city slicker.
If you eat meat but have never killed or cleaned your supper...you might be a city slicker.
If I have to explain to you that supper is the evening meal...you might be a city slicker.
If I have to explain what it means to "clean" your supper...you might be a city slicker.
If you've ever been told "if somebody walking toward you makes you uncomfortable, cross to the other side of the street"...you might be a city slicker.
If you believe gun-control laws will actually control unlawful users of guns...you might be a city slicker.
If you believe that plating and ambience can turn a $5 steak into a $50 meal...you might be a city slicker.
If you believe stopping behind a car that's stopped at a four-way gives you the right to go through the intersection...you might be a city slicker.
