Only in Florida ......
I'll start.
My neighbour mows his lawn with his sit-on lawn mower, wearing only shorts and flipflops, no shirt, and a parrot sitting on his shoulder. Said parrot does not have good toilet habits and quite often leaves his business on said neighbor's back. :sick: |
Re: Only in Florida ......
Ain't you glad you don't have to wash his back :rofl:
Hey Sue ... nice to see your smiling face. :wave: |
Re: Only in Florida ......
I live in Florida.
I do my yard work in flip flops and shorts. And I paid the price. |
Re: Only in Florida ......
Only in Texas ( and probably Florida)
Riding motorcycles in shorts and flip flops with a bandana around your head instead of a helmet. Crazy:nod: |

I went to college in FL for a short time. I got a B in English instead of the deserved A because instructor took exception to me using English vocabularly and grammar. |

Quite right too. What would happen in England if you used American spellings?

Re: Only in Florida ......
I'm sick of hearing "Where are you visiting us from" everytime I go into a shop as well.
They even asked me that once when I took the dog to the vet. Like I'm British and we always take our dogs on holiday abroad don't you know :D Whereas in NC I used to hear "Oohhhh I love your accent." Which I much more prefer. I was "special" up there, down here I am just a tourist. :D |
Re: Only in Florida ......
My brother-in-law is a Londoner, speaks with the accent. Everybody asks him if he's from Australia.
He always answers. "No way. I'm from Texas" and leaves them to figure that one out |

Sometimes when I am not in or around Podunk, NC, if someone says something like "You're not from around here. Where are you from?", or, as a couple of weeks ago when I took little Miss P to see some historic sites, and they ask where we're visiting from, I tell them I'm from Podunk, NC. :rofl:
I get comments on my accent an average of about once a week. .... Last weekend I shuffled things around a bit and went shopping at Lowe's while wearing a blue Polo shirt (a shirt I have worn so often that it is no longer in the best condition) and a canvas vest, 'cause it was just a little cool. In the space of 20 minutes in Lowe's I had three customers approach me and ask me where they could find something! :rofl: .... I don't think that has ever happened before, even once! despite shopping in Lowe's pretty much every week for the past 15+ years. On the topic of accents, I've lived in northern NYS for 25 years, and lived in Boston before that. Every time anyone in NYS asks me where I came from, I simply say Boston - secure in the knowledge that most of the locals haven't even been to Albany, never mind Massachusetts, so have no idea what Bostonians sound like. |
