They're all true! :D

You know you're TRULY from Florida when.....

You never use an umbrella because you know the rain will be over in five minutes.

A good parking place has nothing to do with distance from the store, but everything to do with shade.

Your winter coat is made of denim.

You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and mosquito bites.

Anything under 75 degrees is chilly.

You pass on the right and honk at the elderly, but pull over for a funeral.

You've driven through Yeehaw Junction.

You have to drive north to get to 'The Real' South.

You know that anything under a Category 3, just isn't worth waking up for.

You dread love bug season.

You are on a first name basis with the Hurricane list. They aren't Hurricane Charley, Hurricane Frances...but Charley , Frances , Ivan and Jeanne.

You think a six-foot alligator is actually pretty average.

'Down South' means Key West

You think New York drivers licenses should only be valid in New York

Flip-flops are everyday wear.

Shoes are for business meetings and church, but you HAVE worn flip flops to church before.

Sweet tea can be served at any meal.

An alligator once walked through your neighborhood.

You smirk when a game show's 'Grand Prize' is a trip or cruise to Florida

You think everyone from a bigger city has a northern accent.

You know the four seasons really are: hurricane season, love bug season, tourist season and summer

It's not soda, cola, or pop. it's coke, regardless of brand or flavor, 'What kinda coke you want?'

Anything under 95 degrees is just warm.

You've hosted a hurricane party.

You understand the futility of exterminating ****roaches.

You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee , Ichnatucknee and Withlacoochee and know what and where they are.

You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat, than have a boat yourself.

And Finally, You've worn shorts and used the A/C on December 25.
 
Being from South Florida, I can verify this. They're all true.

Except one day it got down to 28° and SNOWED in Naples. :eek: They actually cancelled school because it was too cold.

I went back down there and they were crying about a LOW of 64° on the news. They had the icecicle graphics and everything.

I was like, "Oh boo-####ing-hoo. Cry me a ****ing river. I'll take 64°ANYDAY I can get it." The people there thought I was nuts. :XXROFL:

Summers here mean 95°-125°, and winters mean 5°-35°.
 
You've hosted a hurricane party.
We have one every 3 years in Maryland. Weathermen think, because we've been spared since Isabel, that we're gonna get hit big this time around. :eek:
