You know you're in California when......

[Cactusdoug]

You know you're in California when......

Not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, & Texan jokes... 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. 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 know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.

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 US

13. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps.
You don't even notice.

14. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30am 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. Its barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news
station: "STORM WATCH 2004."

19. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Blanks
himself is teaching the 4:00pm 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 ....

24. ... And, the Terminator is your governor.

Cheers, Cactusdoug

He's not a dictator, he has the legislative democrats to deal with and they both have to agree on what they want to do.

I like that he repealed the 300% car tax increase and the Illegal Immigrant driver's license that Gray Davis signed into law.

[all4funwfish]

Yeah, the governator did what we wanted...no illegal immigrant licenses, and no 300% car fee....although the rest is fair enough.

[Toyman321]

I'd like to point out that teh 300% increase wasnt an increase, it was the repeal of a discount bringing the prices back up to where they used to be three years ago... everyone seems to forget that... not saying that Davis was a saint though

[Clownknife]

Wow I love that, I am going to pass that along.

My parents grew up in West Chester and Santa Monica. I grew up in Marina Del Rey/ Venice Beach then Palos Verdes. I went to school in Malibu, Santa Monica, Culver City and then barely graduated from Palos Verdes High school because Pot was leagal in the 80's. :hehe:

Now in Dover DE.
