"Poor "Hate America Hugh" couldn't take the truth!" No. He is used to bulldozing kids. Now that he has to deal with people who can out-think him, he dives for the ignore button...

Living in S. Florida When giving directions in South Florida , you should always start with thewords, take I-95 or take I-75... If you're a snowbird or a non-working retiree, you absolutely cannot drive between the hours of 6am and 10am and 4pm and 7pm. This is considered to be rush hour and you're not in any rush. No exceptions. Some roads just stop for no reason and then start again: Get over it. Two freeways go north and south. One east and west. A1A and ALT A1A are the same streets. Traffic Lights aren't timed and never will be. We measure the distance you travel in time not miles. If you miss your exit on I-75 or I-95, it's perfectly acceptable to back up. Once the light turns green, only 3 cars can go through the intersection. Eight more go through on yellow and 4 on red. Know the difference between Sun Pass , Sun Fest, Sun-Sentinel, and Sun Trust. Flip flops , tank tops and baggy shorts are also known as business casual. Your blinker means nothing. English is our second language. It is perfectly acceptable to brag about the size of your generator. It is totally acceptable to be living in South Florida but not root for The Dolphins, The Marlins, The Heat or The Panthers. We have alligators here in South Florida and they WILL bite you. Don't be stupid and try to feed or pet one. Clematis is a street not a disease. When a hurricane is headed our way, even though you have advanced warning and you are told to be prepared, you're not a true Floridian unless you wait until the absolute last minute to go to Home Depot to pick up plywood or to Publix to stock up water, ice, beer, and potato chips. You know how to spell Okeechobee. Do NOT buy a boat. Make friends with someone who already owns a boat. That way you don't have to deal with the headaches. There is an Okeechobee blvd, street, avenue, town, lake and county. There's always a Walgreens across the street from a CVS on almost every corner -with more being built every day. When picking up a woman on South Beach, always look for an Adams apple. It's normal to sweat when you are putting up your holiday decorations. Jupiter is a city, not a planet. Seniors have to do their errands during the weekdays. Not weeknights or weekends - that's for the working folks. There are three types of dolphins: Mahi-mahi, flipper, and also one called a football team. You can't say; 'this is how we did it up north', if you think that way, then go back. No matter what they decide in Tallahassee you will never ever be able to figure out your property taxes. Learn how to dress in layers. It will be 95 degrees outside but inside any restaurant or business it's 65 degrees. There are three things you will need to survive a south Florida winter: A long sleeved T-shirt, sunscreen and restaurant reservations (at a choice spot) that you make at least three weeks in advance. The same neighbor who smiles at you every day will be the first one to rat you out if you are violating water restrictions.
