So as to not be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan

jokes,

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. 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 sperm

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,

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 crotch less

chaps, and you don't even notice,

14. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at 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 is into S &M, and your Mary Kay rep is a guy 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,"

19. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy

Blanks himself is teaching the 4:00 pm Tae Bo class,

20. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all

busy with their cells or pagers,

21. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour

early to avoid all the weather-related accidents . . .

22. Hey!!!! Is Pot Illegal????

23. Both you AND your dog have therapists . . .

It's a tossup as to which would be more shocking - hearing a conversation in English on a bus, or just taking one period
