You know your in florida if you find lizards and tree frogs in your house.

You know your in florida when you hear crickets in January.

You know your from Florida if you can hit a deer with your car and it`s OK to take it home for dinner.

You know your from Florida if turtle or gator soup is a good lunch.

Default True but Funny

You know you're in Florida when;
You're fishing on the pier in the intracoastal, and a Canadian family comes with a bait bucket of live shrimp and takes them out 1 by 1 and pulls the heads off and shells them, then leaves them in the sun as they bait up.

When I asked what they were doing, they said the bait shop said that's how you fish with shrimp here in FL....????

I had to go to the ladies room to laugh till I peeeeed!

If they're in season,,,,why can't we shoot them?????

If its in YOUR house its a COCKROACH,,but if its in MY house its a palmetto!

Now that we cleared up that mystery, everyone will sleep better with the windows open.

You own at least five pair of flip flops.

You know, personally, someone who has been struck by lightning.

You've got beach sand in your house (and clothes), in December.

You're constantly getting stuck behind a funeral procession.
