I just got this today and thought I'd share with my Californian friends. :)

So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes, somebody had to come up with this, you know you're from California if:

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 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.

16. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.

17. HEY!!! !! Is pot illegal ? ? ? ?

18. Both you AND your dog have therapists, psychics, personal trainers and cosmetic surgeons.

19. The Terminator is your governor.

20. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license. If you're here illegally, they want to give you one.

You can get pot at Trader Joes now? Is it in the herbs or the dried foods section?

So where's the joke? You're just listing facts, and not even embarrasing facts at that.

Seriously..how do Californians afford a home? I watch all those shows on HGTV and they show these 20-something couples shopping for $450,000 starter homesAnd you can tell these are "normal" working class people, not spoon-fed millionaires.

What's the deal?

BTW that $450,000 "starter home" is a 1 bedroom condo in a not so nice neighborhood. Homes in my area start around $850,000 on up. And you get get a $200,000 place in the desert anymore unless that desert is in Arizona!

Frankly many of us can't afford homes - I rent. My rent is low compared to some areas - $1500/mo for 2 bedrooms and a yard and garage. Prices in Irvine start around $1800+

We live here cause the weather is so nice - year round riding. The ocean, the mountains, open areas. It's really nice here... just so incredibly expensive darn it.

it's ridiculous. I live in this canned $hitbox where everything is falling apart. It's in a bad part of town (kinda) and there are railroad tracks 200 feet away. A train goes by every hour all 24 of the day every day.

the house that is 15 feet from the tracks 2.5 bath 3 bedroom. They want $419,000 for it... it's the most absurd thing i've seen in my life. the train shakes my place, but it must feel like they're being bombed... every hour on the hour 24/7...


according to a local paper only 18% of people who live in the inland empire can afford a home there... ridiculous in the extreme.

I rode by a road banner the other day in Seal Beach, advertising a polar plunge. I was thinking, here I am in my shorts, in 60 degree weather, and they consider that to be a polar weather? Where I am from, up norte, people jump in holes cut in ice, in 0 degree temps, for a such an event.... Californians:rolleyes:
