I gotta say, one of the reasons that I don't like working Florida is that it's getting harder and harder to get sweet tea

You are only as strong as the prey you devour

Are you crazy man? Everywhere I go, serves sweet tea.... everywhere... where did you go that didn't? Of course I am in Polk County which is the redneck and good ol boy capital of the world...maybe that makes a difference....


and to the OP... I can relate to and got a chuckle from every single one of those... thanks for starting my Tuesday off with a laugh!

It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there as long as there is enough RUM!

"7.You've driven through Yeehaw Junction."

And I have the tshirt. Stopped for a drink at the bar on my last trip to Sebastian. One of the few places with chickens roaming the parking lot.

"16..You know what a snowbird is and when they'll leave."

The day after Easter.

"25..An alligator once walked through your neighborhood."

...lives in my neighborhood.

"29..You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls."

"Hold the french fry over your head, I'll take a picture."


"44..You've worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas."

I've received water skis for Christmas and tried them out that day.
