If you know a thing or two about living in Maine then you know there are a few things we just have to laugh about, so enjoy these funny things about Maine.

People say a lot of things about our beloved Maine. From things about the weather to the way we talk, we've heard it all. But, if we're being honest, some of these things aren't too far off from the truth. Let's take a minute to laugh at ourselves by thinking about the things people say about Maine that are actually pretty true.

1. Maine: Where you won't be able to feel your face from January to March.

Sometimes it's more like October til April. If you want to know what it's like living in Maine, come in the dead of winter to get the true experience. Forget all about the sunny days of summer while eating a lobster roll and watching a lighthouse. This is where the real Maine resilience is made.

So it is safe to say that Maine winters can get cold. Anyone who spends most of January here will agree.

2. Maine: Where you'll probably freeze to death while waiting for spring.

But at least it'll be pretty. And you can always enjoy the views from your heated car.

3. Maine: Where the color of your car isn't known between March and May.

Mud season is no joke. Just think of them like zebra stripes; they are all unique and help us blend into the environment to confuse our enemies.

4. Maine: Where residents prefer not to cross the state border.

But, when they do, there's nothing like the sight of this sign on the way back in.I even have a friend who will only leave the state for his job and never voluntarily leaves the Pine Tree State unless he absolutely has to. I also know he isn't alone.

5. Maine: Where there are more Subarus than people to drive them.

We bet you saw a Subaru in the last 24 hours.

6. Maine: The only state where you can go to Mexico and Poland in one day.

No need to correct the people who commend our world travels. It's not like we're lying. How else can we be such accomplished world travelers?

7. Maine: Where the smell of campfires means you probably spent the night drinking in a gravel pit.

Pit parties and Allen's.

8. Maine: Where you're still going to work.

Snow day? What is that? The general rule is if it's less than a foot of snow, you're still expected to show up.

9. Maine: Where we drink soda that was actually invented to be a medicine.

To be honest, WE don't drink this stuff.

10. Maine: Where adorable life-sized stuffed animals can literally kill you.

During moose season, driving can get dangerous. There's no fear in a car like almost hitting a moose in the road.

11. Maine: Where the streets are named after the way our grandparents described growing up.

We get it. We have it easy.

12. Maine: Where people crave adventure so much, they've been known to climb promotional objects.

Raise your hand if you've never put your foot on the L.L. Bean boot. We'll wait.

13. Maine: Where you might as well just walk after winter ends.

Construction season rolls around just in time for us to want to hop in the car and get outdoors. Convenient, isn't it?

14. Maine: Where you can kiss nice quiet family dinners goodbye.

Mainers are always prepared for "just one more" to drop by for dinner.

15. Maine: Where people go outside even though tiny, nearly invisible bugs inflict terror and disease.

It's nymph season in the deer tick world, Mainers. When hiking, always wear long pants; tuck them into your socks, and don't veer off the trails. Then, do a thorough tick check when you get inside.

16. Maine: Where tourists try to push a giant boulder off a cliff for fun.

It hasn't moved since the ice age, folks. It's not going anywhere. We have to admit though, this is a good excuse for some fun photo ops in Acadia. We just can't help ourselves.

17. Maine: Where you might be bludgeoned by a snow-covered limb, but at least you had a chance to chat with a neighbor.

Mainers are friendly and if you get stuck in a neighborly conversation, you'll probably keep going longer than you planned.

18. Maine: Where even the winter is actually a thing of beauty.
