I've lived in Illinois my entire life, I really don't think there is anything you could say to me about Illinois that would tick me off. "Hey the Chicago Bears suck..." True. "Hey Illinois is just a bunch or cornfields..." I mean, you kinda have a point. "Your state's taxes are crazy..." Again, you got me!  Yah, I'm pretty sure none of that would upset me.

So let's go to Wisconsin with a list of things, not to say. These are pretty direct, and go without saying...But I'll say it, to save you some trouble. Here's Four Ways to Totally P*** Off Someone From Wisconsin:

Diss the Green and Gold - Even during a BAD season (like the one that just ended) they don't wanna hear it! There's always a "Bears Fan" comment coming your way and the mention of Brett Favre.

Think Wisconsin is in Minnesota - Now I've never heard this one, but according to the author of this article, this happens:

"I was at a bar in New Orleans and told the woman next to me I was from Milwaukee. She’s a teacher. Her response, oh, I love Minnesota!” - Jennifer Billock

Neglect the Friday Fish Fry - That has leaked across the border for sure! The amount of Friday Fish Fry's in Illinois is CRAZY. Thanks, Wisconsin...I guess.

Welcome to Wisconsin
