Wisconsinites do not refer to people from Illinois as “people from Illinois.’’ They refer to them as “F------ Illinois Bastards,’’ or FIBs for short. This has something to do with Chicagoans regarding America’s Dairyland as America’s Vacation Home.
We buy their land, we cannonball into their lakes when serious men are trying to fish and we think snowmobiles are race cars with skis attached. That’s our reputation at least, and if it weren’t for our gobs of discretionary income, there’d surely be a wall erected at the Illinois-Wisconsin border to keep us out. By the way, if anyone has some discretionary income that doesn’t know what to do with itself, I could keep it busy.
