  • Not accepting food until the third time it's offered
  • The art of waving
  • Hotdishes
  • Loons
  • Talking about cars and starting cars in the winter
  • The Minnesotan "long goodbye"

Much of the material for the book was originally performed as sketches on A Prairie Home Companion. The book also includes fictional ads for improbable businesses such as "Raw Bits Cereal", "Polka Pants", and "Walleye Phone Company".
