Not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, & Texan jokes... Here are the Top 23 answers about Calli-forn-ya.
You know you're in California when......
1. Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.
2. You make over $300,000 a year 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 Breeze.
5. You can't remember... is pot illegal?
6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a DNA 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 know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.
9. You can't remember... is pot illegal?
10. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.
11. A low speed police pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.
12. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.
13. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps.
You don't even notice.
14. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am in Starbucks wearing the
baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.
15. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.
16. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers your mail AND your Mary Kay rep are both guys in drag.
17. You can't remember... is pot illegal?
18. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news
station: "STORM WATCH 2007."
19. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Lanks himself is teaching the 4:00pm Tae Bo class.
20. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cells or Blackberries.
21. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour
early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.
22. Both you AND your dog have therapists.
23. You can't remember... is pot illegal?

this is why I live in Colorado. I think. But then we've got 'the people's republic of Boulder'. What can I say?

About "storm watch": We've been on "storm watch" here in Los Angeles this weekend. My husband was thinking of going to Home Depot to buy HVAC filters.
I said "It's 60 degrees and sprinkling out there! Do you really want to go out in THAT?"
I was serious.

F2-hey hey hey....I've lived in California for 22+ years and this is all
TRUE! (especially if your're in LALA Land.)
There's a very funny book that came out in the 80's called "How to California". Still hilarious.
Ya gotta be able to laugh at yourself.
