Laughing at ourselves.....





THIS IS WHAT JEFF FOXWORTHY HAS TO SAY ABOUT LIVING IN WASHINGTON STATE:


If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Washington.

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Washington.

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number, you live in Washington..

If you measure distance in hours, you live in Washington.

If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Washington.

If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' and back again in the same day, you live in Washington.

If you install security lights on your house and garage but leave both doors unlocked, you live in Washington..

If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Washington.

If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over 8 layers of clothes, you live in Washington.

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80, and everyone is still passing you, you live in Washington.

If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow and ice, you live in Washington.

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Washington.

If you actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your WASHINGTON friends, you live or have lived in Washington!!!!!!!!!!!!!




For all of you that don't live in Washington State (I Do) you just wouldn't understand how spot on Jeff is about Washington. I guess every state has their little idiosyncrasies. What are some of yours?
I think he is so funny and I just smiled through his whole list. Maybe some of my southern bloggers have friends or family here. What do you think? Did he hit the nail on the head.....One laugh at a time....
