Hey there then!  A lot of folks from around this fine nation come to enjoy our fine state of South Dakota.  You may even be related to some of 'em. We all know it's never good form to insult the locals when you come for a visit.

Soooo, In order to avoid some of them uncomfortable sitiations I put together this here list of no-no's to help yer kin if they come for an overnighter.  Ya may want to forward this to 'em early.  Heck, might be good to share it with strangers too.

7 Ways To Piss Off A South Dakotan:

  1. Pronounce the South Dakota State Capital as “PEE-AIR” not “PEER”.
  2. Say to a “West River” person that all “West River” folks are a bunch of plate lickers. Or you can insert “East River,” depending on who is to be pissed off.
  3. Ask if Cowboys and Indians still drive covered wagons across the state to visit Ma & Pa Ingall's?
  4. Say that Wall Drug Sucks.
  5. Suggest that Bill Clinton should be carved into Mt. Rushmore.
  6. Declare there is no such thing as a Jackalope.
  7. Joke that the only difference between a “Hoover” and a “Harley” at Sturgis is the placement of the dirtbag.
Hey, as long as yer in the mood.  Seems lots of folks like to sing about South Dakota.  Check out these toons...
