what your mail says about you

Have you ever seen that episode of 30 Rock where Liz Lemon gets her new neighbor’s mail? Jon Hamm stars as the hottest, most perfect neighbor of all time, Dr. Drew Baird.

Let’s face it, a lot of the time we judge other people by what they like and what they will pay for. Admit it, you’ve snooped through the magazines lying around your friend’s apartment. It’s okay, I do it too. Perhaps you go to their bookshelf or look to see what Netflix DVDs came in the mail. Again, we all do it.

Well, now I’ve compiled a list of different things that people pay for and what these items probably mean about them.

No one will know that the farthest east you’ve been in the last five years is most likely Kenosha. Here’s a list of things that any Wisconsinite can do to seem more cultured to the outside world, and by “outside world” I mean people from the coasts.
