At Least We Can Laugh At Ourselves!

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. 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 Flower.

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.

8. You can't remember . . is pot illegal?

9. A really great parking space can totally

 move you to tears.

10. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than

 anywhere else in the U.S.

11. 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.

12. Your car insurance costs as much as your

 house payment.

13. You can't remember . . is pot illegal?

14. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a

 report on every news station: "STORM

 WATCH.."

15. You pass an elementary school

 playground and the children are all busy with

 their cells or pagers.

16. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you

 leave for work an hour early to avoid all the

weather-related accidents.

17. HEY!!!! Is pot illegal????

18.. Both you AND your dog have therapists,

 psychics, personal trainers and cosmetic

 surgeons.

19. The Terminator is your governor.

20. If you drive illegally, they take your

 driver's license. If you're here illegally, they

 want to give you one.

And the place is great!
