This family has 5 cell phones. I think Californian's use of cell phones now rivals parts of Europe.

TOO Funny!!!

Am from FL, and don't agree with all of it, but the "Southern" one, ya, and ya'll come back, now, ya heah!

And, BTW, why is it that no one refers to FL as being in the "deep south" - how much more south can you get w/o leaving the US?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

LOVED the one about Arizona - never lived there, but spent too much time there last summer! Only thing I'd disagree with is the hot all year part - was there the week after spring break, and FROZE my but off - 8pm, 34 degrees outside - and all I'd packed to wear was shorts and tank tops! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

You know your'e from Kansas when:

The only time you lock your car, is when okra or zuchini are in season.

The only traffic jam you'll see is when traffic slows to watch a mother cat and her kittens cross the road.

The sirens go off, and you know it's time to go out in the yard and LOOK for the Tornado.

You know how to pronounce El Dorado, Salina, and Beloit.

You've played golf and shoveled snow on the same day.

You don't have to buy tomatoes from the 4th of July till nearly Halloween, even if you don't plant them at home.

You've had help show up EVERY time you had a flat tire or car trouble, without making a call.


SD

You know you're from Philly when:

* Women keep their money in their pockabooks.

* Summer vacations are spent downasure.

* To get someone's attention, just yell "YO!" or "Hey YOUSE guys!"

* Your car insurance is three times as much as your car payment.

* The farthest you move from your family home is around the corner.

* Wooder is what comes out of the spigot.

* The ONLY take-out food is CHEESESTEAKS!!! YUM!
