[size 2]So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes, it's your turn..
You know you're from California if:

1. Your coworker has 8 body piercing and none are visible.

2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.

3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation
in English.

4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named
Flower.

5. You can't remember . . is pot illegal?

6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.

7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown,
and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.

8. You can't remember . . . is pot illegal?

9. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.

10. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.

11. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing a baseball cap
and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.

12. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

13. You can't remember . . .is pot illegal?

14. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station:
"STORM WATCH."

15. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy
with their cells or pagers.

16. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early
to avoid all the weather-related accidents.

17. HEY!!!! Is pot illegal????

18. Both you AND your dog have therapists, psychics, personal trainers and
cosmetic surgeons.

19. The Terminator is your Governor.

20. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license.
If you're here illegally, they want to give you one.

...now can you imagine our "foul weather" california drivers.. say.. in the midwest that has been getting hammered with snow of late.. if they think rain is bad.. try a layer of ice covered by a few inches of wet slushy snow.. [sly]

...one time on an icy parking lot I hit my brakes a little to hard.. I went skidding across the rest of the parking lot.. doing two 360's... luckily I was going slow.so no damage.. unless you count the seat of my britches.. and I was driving a 64 grand prix.. with about 100 pounds of salt in the trunk for traction..

I pulled this down from the mod board just to share with our other Cali Bros.

[size 1]OH MY GOD!!!![shocked]

Now I am convinced that you live in California. I only live 42 miles West of you and we have the same set of standards here!

You did forget a couple of the rules though.

Only in California can you get arrested for a DUI but get out of it if you have a Medical Marijuana card and tell them you are not drunk but high!

Only in California can you order Sushi when other states blame you for eating the Bait.

Only in California must a sick person go to the rear of a drug store to get medicines when the healthy people can buy beer and cigarrettes in the front of the store![shocked]

[cool][font "Pristina"][green][size 4]Yea nothing more ironic than seeing a big SUV sporting a bumper sticker stating that they support the environment.[/size][/green][/font]

...you mean like that nobel prize winning gore feller.. the one that drives the big suv's as he drives up to his huge mansion that has all the security systems that has the house lit up like its daylight.. the one that says conserve.. and use solar and alternate fuels and such but does not practice what he preaches.. [crazy]

Coffee...
It's better than toffee
fits in a cup
warms you right up
makes you
all the while
catching fish
from my tube.... float tube poem #1...[cool]

... what I remember most is that your coffee helped to warm up my feet so I could move around without falling over.. [sly]
