You know you're from California if:

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.

17. HEY!!!! Is pot illegal????
18. Both you AND your dog have therapists.

20. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license. If you're here illegally, they want to give you one.
Rahahaa Funny! I know So.Cal and northern are worlds apart, but some of this translates to both ends. We're going north though, if that means we're a little more sane....

It IS raining here today and every 5 minutes the stupid talking heads come and and warn us about THE BIG STORM!! Eeh gads, what the people of Oregon and Washington must think of us. I am a life long Californian and the rest of your list is just about the funniest thing I have read in days. And tell me again, IS pot legal?
