  • Fact from Florida......

    Facts about Florida:

    Armadillos sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.

    There are 5,000 types of snakes in the world and 4,998 live in florida.

    There are 10,000 types of spiders in the world and, all 10,000 live in Florida, plus a couple no one has seen before.

    Possums will eat anything....

    Onced and Twiced are words.

    It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.

    Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.

    Coldbeer is one word.

    Fix'nto is one word.

    There ain't no such thing as "lunch". There's only dinner and then there's supper.

    Sweet tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two.

    Backards and forwards means I know everything abo! ut you.

    'Jeet? is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"



    You know you're from FLORIDA if....

    1. You measure distance in minutes.

    2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

    3. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.

    4. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.

    5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.

    6. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

    7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

    8. You carry jumper cables in your car ... for your OWN car.

    9. You know what "cow tipping" is.

    10. You only own four spices: salt, p! epper, ketchup, and Tabasco.

    11. The local paper covers national and international news on one page but requires 6 pages for local gossip and sports.

    12. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

    13. You find 100 degrees F "a little warm."

    14. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.

    15. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin wal-martin" or off to "Wally World."

    16. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good gumbo weather.

    17. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop ... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor.... Example: "What kinda coke you want?"

                  yeah, Ive heard that sorta thing myself. Them sorta comments usually come from the guys with the rebel flags on thier trucks. I saw one the other day that was so silly it was almost funny. It was a bumper sticker with a rebel flag and it said "heritage, not hate". As if slavery was a freindly thing to do....

                    Not for nothing, but “fix” is a verb. - Unless, of course, it’s “fix” meaning a dilemma.
