You might be a Floridian if...

  • "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.
  • Sweet tea can be served at any meal.
  • An alligator once walked through your neighborhood.
  • You smirk when a game show's "Grand Prize" is a trip to or cruise to Florida.
  • All the local festivals are named after a fruit, reptile or a pirate.
  • 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.
  • Anything under 95 is just warm.
  • You've hosted a hurricane party.
  • You understand the futility of exterminating cockroaches.
  • You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat than have a boat yourself.

Big Man Jake


My nephew, Jake Bledsoe. Women love him. Diapers fear him.
