    Beetle Amusing truths about where we live

    I had to laugh at the truth in this joke.. anyone got any about where they live?

    YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN Florida IN JULY WHEN...

    ~ The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.

    ~ The trees are whistling for the dogs.

    ~ The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

    ~ Hot water now comes out of both taps.

    ~ You can make sun tea instantly.

    ~ You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.

    ~ The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.

    ~ You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.

    ~ You discover you can get sunburned through your car window.

    ~ You actually burn your hand opening the car door.

    ~ You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.

    ~ Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up

    lying on the pavement and cook to death?"

    ~ You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

    ~ The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and

    add butter, salt and pepper.

    ~ Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying

    boiled eggs.

    ~ The cows are giving evaporated milk.

    ............Ah, what a place to call home

    LOL Purps.. Some real true facts about my back yard.. I love WA!
    • Karri trees are found in the south west corner of West Australia and are among Australia's largest.<
    • Marble Bar in the state's north holds the world record for consecutive days of over 100 degrees F (37.8C) of 160 days.
    • The hottest place in Australia is Wyndham with an annual mean temperature of 29.1 degrees C
    • Western Australia is three and a half times as big as Texas, and the British Isles would fit into it 6 times.
    • The highest temperature recorded in the state was 50.7 C at Eucla in the east and the lowest, -7 C at Dwellingup.

    You got me beat on the temps, Tim... if we had that here all the homeless people would die... or move North!

    I thought about adding a couple of my own,
    how about these -
    An umbrella can be used more to keep the sun off than the rain, and...
    A hurricane is just a glorified storm... unless it's category 3 and it's heading towards your area!

    I thought you just had the awning, barbie and pool in your backyard Tim.
    Have you downsized to a tent in the woods or something?
