It has just come to my attention that people from Michigan, when asked which part of Michigan they're from, will point to the appropriate region using their hand as a surrogate map. (The state of Michigan is shaped like a mitten)

(There's a map of Michigan here if you need one. Note that this doesn't work for the Upper Peninsula.)
