So as not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes, you know you're from California if:

1 Your coworker has 8 body piercing 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.

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

#18 Both you and your dog have therapists.

I kid you not, but our vet uses pet therapists. My friend Leigh has 3 Llasa Apsos and the oldest one is now deaf and blind. The youngest one got aggresive during dinner time toward the oldest, and when Leigh disciplined Alice, the offender, Alice got all weird for days after. She refused to eat her food because she mistakenly thought Leight was yelling at her over a food issue, not a being-mean-to-her-older sibling issue. Leigh called the vet about hints for what to do to get Alice to eat again, and the vet suggested a doggie shrink. Luckily Alice got over her sulk before she wasted away. ;-)
