[SIZE=2]California's turn...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 co-worker has 8 body piercings and none are visible
2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house
3. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring,
and is named Flower
4. You can't remember . . is pot illegal
5. You've been to a baby shower that has two
mothers and a sperm donor
6. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffeebeans are g own, and
you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian
7. You can't remember . . is pot illegal
8. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears
9. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S
10. 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
11. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment
12. You can't remember . . is pot illegal
13. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH
14.You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cells or pagers.
15.It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all
the weather-related accidents
16. HEY!!!! Is pot illegal????
17.. Both you AND your dog have therapists, psychics, personal trainers and cosmetic
surgeons
18. The Terminator is your governor
19. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license If you're here illegally, they want to give
you one>

That list (or variations of it) has been going around since I was in High School It's pretty funny and I still get a laugh at it even though most of that list only applies to the metro areas and not to the vast majority of the state.

Although, my area (central coast) is guilty of #15. Anything above a sprinkle is considered STORM WATCH.
