If you live in a mobile home you're playing Russian-roulette with a tornado

If it rains too long and hard, your tree will fall down
If it's too dry for too long your tree will fall down
If you don't have any trees, your neighbor's tree will fall down- on your roof!

If you spend one whole day outside you will eventually witness the drama of how the entire food chain works
(the rat in the vine, the snake eats the rat, the egret eats the snake)!

If you see a cat outside in your neighborhood, it has either just been pregnant, is pregnant, or about to be pregnant

If you live anywhere near a private airport you will eventually see broken cartons on the ground spilling out suspicious white powder

If you accidentally swallow a mosquito during encephalitis season and call "ask-a-nurse" they will probably advise you that your stomach acid will neutralize any threat

If you watch a lizard doing push-ups long enough you will go crazy trying to figure out why

If you have an important appointment in the morning your power will go out sometime during the night

If you want to park at least as close as a quarter mile from where you're trying to go, and there's an empty space, it's marked "handicapped"

If you live near a lake and lose your cat, the alligator got him

If you think you've got a bug on you- you probably do

If you leave your car window down it will rain

If you are standing under a tree in a lightning storm, you'll get hit by lightning
If you are standing on a golf course you'll get hit by lightning
If you're standing in your garage you'll get hit by lightning
If you're standing in your kitchen you'll get hit by lightning

You have to get hit by lightning 3 times before you can win the Florida lottery

If you find a 5 foot shed snake skin in your yard call your neighbor that there's a 5 foot snake headed her way

If you hear your dog growling in the backyard at night, reach for the squirt gun- you're about to break up a fight between him and an oppossum

If you don't check your lawn chair before you sit down in the evening, there's a sucker frog the size of your fist stuck on the back

If you're going to the beach check to make sure there's no missile launch scheduled that day because if it explodes they'll never tell you what hazardous materials might be raining down on you

If you're in a wheelchair at EPCOT you will go to the head of the line and also the 17 people with you

If you're driving on the Interstate and a car is coming at you head on in your lane it's probably a British tourist

If you go to the lake to feed the ducks you will end up in the emergency room with fire ant bites

If you're a newly arrived resident of Florida you have 2 career options: Disney or a fast food restaurant

If you have a dead tree in your yard you will have to tie your garbage pail lids down because you have raccoons

If you phone your next door neighbor they will be in a different area code

If you're driving a car from Miami to Jacksonville don't carry too much cash because it's legal for the police, if stopping you, to take it away!

--That's all folks! :grin:
