You might be a Floridian if:

(These are so funny! I can agree w/ many of these!)

"Down South" means Key West.

"Panhandling" means going to Pensacola.

You think no-one over 70 should be allowed to drive.

Flip-flops are everyday wear.

Shoes are for business meetings and church.

No, wait, flip flops are good for church too, unless it's Easter or Christmas.

Iced Tea can be served at any meal (and it's not called iced tea, it's just tea).

An alligator once walked through your neighborhood.

You smirk when a game show's "Grand Prize" is a trip or cruise to Florida.

You measure distance in minutes.

You have a drawer full of bathing suits, and one sweatshirt.

You wear you flip flops with your sweatshirt... and shorts.

You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls.

All the local festivals are named after a fruit or crustaceans.

A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level.

You know the four seasons really are: almost summer, summer, not summer but really hot, and Christmas.

You have actually recieved a burn (that left a mark) from something in your car on a summer day (metal seat belt fastener?!)

Anything under 95 is just warm.

When it gets below 65 you break out your sweatshirt.

You've hosted a hurricane party.

You go to a theme park for an afternoon, and know when to get on the best rides.

You understand the futility of exterminating cockroaches.

You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee and Withlacoochee.

You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat, than have a boat yourself.

Bumper stickers on the pickup in front of you include: various fish, NRA, Nascar, Go Gators, Go Noles and a confederate flag.

You were 5 before you realized they made houses without pools.

You were 25 when you first met someone who couldn't swim.

You've worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas.

You've gone swimming on Thanksgiving.

You know what the "stingray shuffle" is, and why it's important!
