A True Flordian

You know you're a true Floridian when...... You measure distance in minutes. You've ever had to switch from heat to air conditioning in the same day. Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" "Down South" means Key West "Panhandling" means going to Pensacola. Flipflops are everyday wear. Shoes are for business meetings and church. An alligator once walked through your neighborhood. You smirk when a game show's "Grand Prize" is a trip or cruise to Florida. You have a drawer full of bathing suits, and one sweatshirt. You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls. A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level. Anything under 95 is just warm. You've hosted a hurricane party. You go to a theme park for an afternoon, and know when to get on the best rides. You understand the futility of exterminating ****roaches. You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee and Withlacoochee. You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat, than have a boat yourself. You've worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas. You know what the "stingray shuffle" is, and why it's important. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal. The local papers cover national and international news on one page and local gossip and sports on the next six pages. You know all four seasons: almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas. You know someone who's been struck by lightning You're more scared of the freaks who live down the street than gators You're officially sick of Disney You shrug off hurricane warnings There are only two seasons hot and hotter You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Florida
