If you have ever refused to buy something because it's "too spendy" you might live in Alaska.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Alaska.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Alaska.
If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Alaska.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Alaska.
If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Alaska.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Alaska.
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Alaska.
