Oh Yeah?!?!

I may not LIVE in Florida anymore but I don't think it's any secret that my heart resides there. So imagine my surprise when I see my beloved BlogFather has posted Fun Facts about Florida. While I was visiting! Without consulting me!!!! Well - let's just look at a couple of these - shall we?!?!? Let's see how he did.

Twice yearly, Florida is victimized by uncontrollable destructive forces which lay waste to the state. These times are known as "hurricane season" and "spring break". - True. But you forgot Bike Week! That makes Spring Break look like a Playschool Party.

The state song of Florida is "Grandpa, Don't Wear That Speedo to the Beach". - So True. So Very True!!

Despite the fact that the temperature never gets below freezing, Florida has a professional ice hockey team, which... nah, no one's gonna believe that one. - I love ya Harvey - but messin' with my Lightening is almost crossin' the line. ;-)

Passing the test for a driver's license in Florida requires that you be able to make a right turn from the left lane across 3 lanes of traffic. Or so I assume from what I saw last time I was there. - I only did that twice while you were in the car - I didn't want you to break my "Oh Shit" handle. Never mind about that toll booth incident. We just won't mention that.

Not bad Harvey. I can tell you did your research - but there's a couple of things you forgot to mention:

1) When driving anywhere in the state add 2 hours to your expected drive time during the months between Sept. & April.

2) Be on the lookout for naked old people. Those suckers are everywhere!!

3) There are two State Bumper Stickers: a) Welcome to Florida. Spend your money and get the hell out. b) When I get old I'm gonna move up north and drive slow. (note: this is true and they have all moved to the N. Illinois area)

Those are the only critical items I saw missing. So I say you did my state proud. Thank you Harvey!! And I hope the rest of you learned something!
