-You think Taco Bell is the local phone company. -You notice your car overheating before you drive it. -You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water. -You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching. -You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour and it will be over 100 degrees. -You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot. -You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace. -The best parking is determined by shade -- not distance. -You realize that 'Valley Fever' isn't a disco dance. -You can make sun tea instantly. -Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one. -It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people. -You actually burn your hand opening the car door. -Sunscreen is sold year round and kept right at the checkout counter. -You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box. -Some fools will market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. -Worse, some fools actually try to jog. -You can correctly pronounce Saguaro, Tempe, San Xavier, Canyon de Chelly, Mogollon Rim, and Cholla. -You can understand the reason for a town named 'Why'. -You can fry an egg on the hood of a car in the morning. -You know hot air balloons can't rise in the summer because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon. -No one would dream of putting vinyl inside a car. -You see two trees fighting over a dog. -You can say 'Hohokam' and people don't think you're laughing funny. -You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River. -You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves. -You hear people say 'but it's a dry heat!' -You buy salsa by the gallon. -All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October -- but clear out come the end of April. -You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever. -You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard. -Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof. -Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer. -Most homes have more firearms than people. -Kids ask, 'What's a mosquito?' -People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out of-state or nuts. -You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts. -If you haven't worked for Motorola or Raytheon at some time, you must be a newcomer. - You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds. -You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink. -You take rain dances seriously. -When a rainy day puts you in a good mood. -When you drive two miles around a parking lot looking for a shady place -- even in the dead of winter. -You feed your chickens ice cubes to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. -You 'hug' a cactus only once in your lifetime. -When you have to look up 'mass transit' in the dictionary. -A hundred and ten in the shade is sorta hot, but you don't have to shovel it off your driveway. -You wear a bola tie. -Petrified doesn't mean scared. -The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly. -You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl. -You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face. -You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top. -You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. -You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from ARIZONA. |
