A friend I went to High School with in Florida emailed this to me.
It's A Florida Thing
Socks are only for bowling. You never use an umbrella because the rain will be over in 5 minutes. A good parking place has no-thing to do with the distance from the store and everything to do
with shade. You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and
mosquito bites. Anything under 70 degrees is chilly. You've driven
through Yeehaw Junction. No other store can compare to Publix.
Anything under a category 3 isn't worth waking up for. You dread
Love Bug season. You are on a first name basis with the Hurri-
cane List. They aren't Hurricane Charley or Hurricane Frances.
You know them as Andrew, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Wilma
Irene, Cheryl, Rita, Mary and Alison. You know what a snowbird is
and when they leave. You think a six ft. alligator is pretty average
Down south means Key West. Flip flops are everyday wear. You
have a drawer full of bathing suits & 1 sweat shirt. A mountain is
any hill 100 ft. above sea level. You know the four seasons really
are: Hurricane season, love bug season, tourist season, and
summer. You've hosted a hurricane party. You can pronounce
Okeechobee, Kissimmee, Withlacoochee, Thonotosassa, and
Micanopy. You understand why it's better to have a friend with a
boat, than have a boat yourself. You recognize Miami-Dade as
northern Cuba. You not only repost this but understand it.
