Californians


So as not to
be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, and Texan jokes, somebody had to come up with this:
You know you're from California if...



1. Your coworker
has 8 body piercing's and none are visible.


2. You make over
$300,000 a year 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 cell phones 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, psychics, personal trainers and cosmetic surgeons.



19. The Terminator is your governor.


20. If you drive illegally, they take your driver's license. If you're here illegally, they give you one.

What? ... no California haters? :rotfl:

Ok...I'll add a few of my own (true)-

You go to the parent teacher conference and the speeches are broken down down into 5 minutes English, then the same part in 5 minutes of Spanish, alternating between the two languages throughout the presentation.

Whenever the Spanish portion of the speech came, the crowd laughed like crazy at jokes which I could not understand. Then when the English portion came, everyone just sat silent and deadpan.

Then there are the billboards near my home that are in Spanish only and the Walmart worker (associate) who couldn't speak a word of English ...

Now .. I've really don't have a heartache with Spanish..but com'on, this is an English speaking country ... learn some English ..

:think:

[redneckbillybob]

amen, i have no problem with people coming to this country to better themselfes etc. but if they come to this country they should adopt this countries ways and language, not force theirs onto everyone else. they need to build a "great wall of mexico"

 

[MXSparx]

Agreed. Why should I have to push 1 for english?

 

[Rooster]

I was rejected on two managerial positions because I did NOT speak Spanish. Don't get me started.

[redneckbillybob]

rather than just come and live in cali, they are coming here and converting cali into mexico. deport me? :nener: ill just sneak right back across so what do i have to lose? why follow your laws at all?

 

[Rooster]

Then you get the "lost in translation" things. Like telling a worker to label a shipping container "five-one-two-zero" and he writes it 5100. :think:

[redneckbillybob]
