Not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, & Texan jokes, etc ...
You know you're in California when ...
1. Your coworker 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. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.
8. A low speed police pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.
9. You can't remember ... is pot illegal?
10. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the US
11. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps. You don't even notice.
12. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 a.m. at Starbucks wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.
13. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.
14. 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.
15. You can't remember ... is pot illegal?
16. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH 2004."
17. You pass by a high school and most of the kids you see are talking on a cell phone.
18. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.
19. Both you AND your dog have therapists.
20. Hey!!!! Is Pot Illegal????
21. The Terminator is your new governor.

When I lived in the San Joaquin Valley (Visalia)during the mid 70s, there was a thunderstorm. Being from Illinois, I didn't think anything was wrong. However, most of my co-workers thought that the end of world was near! They were truly frightened by the lightening and thunder!
I told them that I walked to school in worse than that. They looked at me like I just sprouted horns out of the top of my head.
It never occurred to me that someone had never experienced a thunderstorm before.
