You Know You're in
Arizona When ...
You've signed so many petitions to
recall governors that you can't remember the name of the
incumbent.
You notice your car overheating before
you drive it.
You can say Hohokam and people don't
think you're laughing funny.
You no longer associate bridges (or
rivers) with water.
You see more irrigation water flowing
down the street than there is in the Salt River.
You know a swamp cooler is not a happy
hour drink.
You can say 115 degrees without
fainting.
You can be in the snow, then drive for
an hour and it will be over 100 degrees.
You have to go to a fake beach for some
fake waves.
You quickly discover (in July) that it
only takes two fingers to drive your car.
You can make sun tea outside faster
than instant tea in the microwave.
You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so
you can use your fireplace.
You notice the best parking place is determined by shade
instead of distance.
You realize that Valley Fever isn't a disco dance.
Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot
one.
You can (correctly) pronounce the words: saguaro, Tempe,
Gila Bend, San Xavier, Canyon de Chelly, Mogollon Rim,
Cholla, and Tlaquepaque.
It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not
one person is moving on the streets.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
Sunscreen is sold year round, kept at the front of the
checkout counter, a formula less than 30 SPF is a joke,
and you wear it just to go to Circle K.
Some fool can market mini-misters for joggers and some
other fools will actually buy them.
Hot air balloons can't go up, because the air outside is
hotter than the air inside.
No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car.
You can understand the reason for a town named Why
