You Know You’re From Wyoming When…

Everyone's probably heard a joke or seen an email about those things that uniquely define us Wyoming-ites. People outside the Cowboy State might not get it - but anyone that's either from here or has lived here for any solid length of time is crystal clear on the things that sum up life in Wyoming. We recently uncovered a huge collection of these in a Facebook group that's about to get archived, and preserved some of the best ones here at kisscasper.com. Check 'em out and add your own in the comments!
