I want to start with an apology!
I’m sorry!
I’m not sorry that I am posting an alleged Jeff Foxworthy dialog, I am sorry that the dialog is true, and a bit embarrassing!
However, an apology to Jeff Foxworthy if he is not given credit where credit is due. 🙂
I was born in the middle of Kansas, and lived there most of my life.
I also lived in Kansas City…but on the Missouri side of the river….Kansas City, Kansas is on the other side of the river that separates both states.
And yes, during my many travels and places of living, I have heard the phrase….“you are not in Kansas anymore” more times than I care to say.
And I have been also known to say…as I click my heels together, “I want to go home”!
And for those who have followed me regularly…you know my love of Kansas sports!
I tried to find out if Jeff Foxworthy should be credited for the below “If you are….” dialog, and I couldn’t find anything to confirm or deny. I also tried to find out if members of his family live in Derby, Kansas, a suburb of Wichita, Kansas… (just for a perspective) ….but I was not able to confirm or deny that either.
So having issued a disclaimer and an apology…please read the below dialog and feel free to shake your head or even laugh! I smiled at every one of them.
