[cimmaronkid]

So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes, somebody had to come up with this, you know you're from California if:

1. Your coworker has 8 body piercings 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.

If you're robbed by 11 guys, youre completely screwed.

btw, the storm watch thing isnt just california. Its any big city in the south west. Austin shut down for 4 days from about 1/4" of ice this year.

Storm watch, amen. As kids 40 years ago we used to spit in the streets and watch the cars spin out. No better now with a million Cali's, New Yawkers and illeagals. LV = little LA:1106:

Had a Cali female argue with me once about how to pronounce Nevada. After doing the unsual: Nah vah duh. ( Worse then Neh va der) She assured me a native American had told her that was the correct way to sat it. I assured her the Indian was drunk.:jumping:

On the other hand, you might be from Alaska if...

…the concept of “daylight saving time” in the summer baffles you.

…you have ever shoveled snow off your deck to use the grill.

…you like to drive in winter because snow fills the potholes.

…you can not only imitate a seal, you know what it tastes like.

…you have used the same airline ticket more than twice.

…you’ve ever posted pictures of your governor on an internet forum.

…you’ve ever been told, “We only ship to the U.S.”

…you own more than three colors of duct tape.

…you’ve ever killed a moose – with your car.

…you tell your kids to be home by dark and they come back in September.

You might be a ................if you spray bathroom air freshener down the back of your jeans before a date.

You might be in Oregon if

Its raining all day long, no ones carrying a umbrella.

The sun peaks through the clouds and people ponder what is that, then start worrying about a drought. Which is defined as when its not raining.

The football season is around and so are the team mascots, beavers and ducks. Sure fits with all the rain.

Know that Boring is a town in Oregon and not just a state of mind.

No sales taxes (there is attempt to get one passed every other year, it always fails). Plenty of other taxes though.
Also no pumping your own gasoline at the gasoline station.

You know you're from the Midwest when..

You're watching the Lakers fall pretty flat against the Pistons in Game 3 and they interrupt the broadcast for a tornado warning.

Your first job was detasseling corn.

Your idea of a traffic jam is three cars waiting to pass a combine.

The mayor knows your name.

You have had to switch from heat to air conditioning on the same day.

You end questions with a preposition, "Where's my coat at?" or "Were ya gonna sit at?" or "If you go to the mall, I wanna go with."Or you end questions with, “er somethin’?”

When asked how your trip an exotic place was, you say, "It was. . . diff'ernt."

You might be from Las Vegas if:

People are amazed when you say you were born here.

Tourists ask which hotel you live in.

An old timer is someone who has lived here 5 years.

You pay at 7-11 with casino chips.

Chips isn't something to eat.

Juice isn't a drink.

Your friend in high school dads name was Joey the Ham, Tony the ant, Unckle Knuckles etc.

The pimp cars all belonged to white men. Back then.

The hotels are blown up on a regular basis.

You have to remind newbies "this is a DESERT!" when they complain about the summer heat.

You can tell a newbie from the north because all the car windows are rolled down in the summer and the occupants are dieing from lack of AC.

50 degrees is cold to a native.

and that old saw is heard all summer long.............
