You know you're not in Maine when you leave work and notice there's a 4" lizard riding on the hood of your car, when you stop at a red light he then crawls up onto the windshield and stares at you looking horrified. We were both horrified! He was clinging for dear life the whole ride home. 
(this happened to me last night, I think he was in the witness relocation program)  |

I remember the Florida lizards. I thought they were the neatest little things around. They were nearly impossible to catch and their colors were quite vivid as I recall. |

You know you are not in Maine when you meet people who talk about
having moved from "back East" . You ask them from where exactly
and they respond OHIO |

If that had happened to me, you would have heard me screaming all the back to Maine. I hate creepy crawly things. |

That was just the Geico gekko! He was horrified to find that you weren't insured by Geico!  |

Come on up. I'll show you a few places up this direction where English is for sure the second language.  Wish I knew more French sometimes. |

Oh! Don't even get me started! 
Yes Florida, the land of the creepy crawly things... a lot of them are of the 2 legged variety. |

Now Cornerguy - If I had said something nasty that would be one thing, but hey for all of you who want to know what I said - I would love to come on up to Maine if I could only find work! I'll keep it ALL English from now on - afterall - isn't that the native language of the United States of America????
