Utah is a very interesting place. The longer I live here the more I realize this. It's kind of its own world in a way. A really quirky, interesting, somewhat messed up world. Yet I have no intention of leaving anytime soon.
So with that said… you know you're in Utah when. . .
there is a radio commercial urging you to "find your eternal companion" with a certain dating website

Tooele as two-ill-uh

you know what fry sauce is and what it's made of
the "Holy War" is bigger than the super bowl
you know the difference between a "steak house" and a "stake house"
U and Y are not just letters
