During a recent trip to Florida, (right smack between Frances and Ivan) I came across this funny quiz, and being a former Floridian myself, I thought I'd share it with y'all.
You might be a Floridian if:
1.You exhibit a slight twitch when introduced to anyone with the
first names of Charley, Frances or Ivan - and now Jeanne too !!!
2.If an airboat is parked in your drive instead of a car.
3.Your freezer never has more than $20 worth of food in it any given
time.
4.You're looking at paint swatches for the plywood on your windows,
to accent the house color.
5.You think of your hall closet/safe room as "cozy".
6.Your pool is more accurately described as "framed in" than "screened in".
7.Your freezer in the garage now only has homemade ice in it.
8.You no longer worry about relatives visiting during the summer months.
9.You too haven't heard back from the insurance adjuster.
10.You've ordered gas cans via FedEx
11.You now understand what that little "2% hurricane deductible"
phrase really means.
12.You're putting a collage together on your driveway of roof
shingles from your neighborhood.
13.You were once proud of your 16" electric chain saw.
14.Your Street has more than 3 "NO WAKE" signs posted.
15.You now own 5 large ice chests.
16.Your parrot can now say" hammered, pounded and hunker down".
17.You recognize people in line at the free ice, gas and plywood locations.
18.You stop what you're doing and clap and wave when you see a
convoy of power trucks come down your street.
19.Your depressed when they don't stop.
20.You have the personal cell phone numbers of the managers for: plywood, roofing supplies and generators at Home Depot on your speed dial.
21.You've spent more than $20 on "Tall white kitchen bags" to make
your own sandbags.
22.You're considering upgrading from a 16" to a 20" chainsaw.
23.You know what "Bar chain oil" is.
24.You're thinking of getting your wife the hardhat with the ear
protector & face shield for Xmas.
25.You now think the $6000 whole house generator seems reasonable.
26.You look forward to discussions about the merits of "cubed,
block and dry ice".
27.Your therapist refers to your condition as "generator envy".
28.You fight the urge to put on your winter coat and wool cap and
parade around in front of your window when you finally get power and your neighbor across the street with the noisy generator doesn't.
29.And you might be a Floridian if:
You ask your sister up north to start saving the Sunday Real Estate
classifieds.
