It's only funny 'cause it's
true...
Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.
Yep. I also worked with a woman who was completely tatooed, except for above her neckline and her hands. She always wore long-sleeve business suits with high necklines, and looked *very* professional.
You take a bus and are shocked at 2 people carrying on a conversation in English.
I'll let you know if I'm shocked -- as soon as this happens
! Closest I came was riding a bus full of junior high kids. I *think* they were speaking English...
Your child's 3rd grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze.
And don't even *ask* what your child's 3rd grade
classmates look like!
You've been to more than one baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.
Two mothers, two fathers, whatever. I know a gay couple where one is not a citizen, and a lesbian couple in the same situation. They solved this problem by marrying each others' partners--now everyone gets to stay in the US. When it came time for children, this same foursome used donated sperm from the men (mixed -- eew), and impregnated both women, with one of the women designated as a surrogate for the male couple. Yep, that was an interesting baby shower...
You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown and can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.
Peets' Sumatra for me. Nothing's better. Got a problem wit' dat?
A really great parking space can move you to tears.
Not tears, but lots of "woo-hoo"ing and high-fives.
Gas cost 75 cents per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.
And it's worth it, too! On the plus side, we don't need to lock up our NSXs for four months out of the year.
A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps. You don't even notice.
I've seen people get on a bus completely naked without any reaction from the other riders. c.f "The Naked Guy" in Berkeley.
A woman gets on the bus with live poultry. You don't even notice.
You must be riding the 30-Stockton then.
Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney is George Clooney.
That's a southern California reference. Up here it'd probably be either Robin Williams or Sharon Stone.
The weatherman talks about the weather in other parts of the country, as if we really care.
Weather and traffic are the two most useless segments of the news. The weather's always good, and the traffic's always bad.
Keep 'em coming! I've lived here for over 25 years, and I can take it
!
