You know you’re on Whites Point, Manitoulin Island when…
- People recite their phone numbers in four digits, but they don’t know their address (“last one on the left”).
- Sour cream and onion chips are considered a vegetable.
- Happy Hour is between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. from Monday to Sunday.
- Dogs outnumber people (this is particularly true at the Snow’s).
- People on the east and west side each think their side of Whites Point is better, but we can all get along and smile at each other over the smoked whitefish dip at Happy Hours. The Strong’s are smiling the widest because their lot straddles east and west.
- You’re in greater danger of being hit by a golf cart or a canopied bike than a car.
- Your most vigorous exercise is getting your ass kicked by spry seniors in a game of pickle ball at the community centre
- You can count your bug bites on one hand (since 1974).
- It’s not a vacation until you’ve made two ER trips with crying children. Diagnosis: Swimmer’s ear.
- Having a steambath at Uncle John’s is like going to the spa, psychotherapist and bar all at once.
