I thought this was funny, got it in email.

You know you are in Arizona when:

1. You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.

2. "Dress code" is meaningless at high schools and universities.

3. You have over 100 recipes of Mexican food.

4. You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is brilliant.

5. Salsa is a part of your daily diet.

6. You can listen to a weather report of 117 and not flinch.

7. You can pronounce San Xavier, Saguaro, Tempe, and Cholla.

8. You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water.

9. You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink.

10. You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour ... and it will be
over 100 degrees.

11. You can make sun tea instantly.

12. You run your a/c in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace.

13. The best parking is determined by shade...not distance.

14. You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance.

15. Sunscreen is sold year round, kept right at the checkout counter.

16. No one would dream of putting vinyl inside a car.

17. You think a red light is merely a suggestion.

18. Most of the restaurants in town start with "El" or "Los" or end in
"-bertos."

19. Your house is made of stucco and has a tile roof.

20. You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard.

21. People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are
automatically assumed to be from out-of-state.

22. You can get in more trouble for cutting down a cactus then for
smuggling drugs in over the border.

23. You actually get these jokes and pass them on the other friends
from Arizona.

"Sahn Hahvy-air", "SaWAro", "Tem-PEE", "CHOY-ah."

14. You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance.

It's a respiratory infection caused by airborn spores.

And smokers are immune, because all the shit on our lungs prevents the spores from being able to fix to the bronchial tissue.

18. Most of the restaurants in town start with "El" or "Los" or end in
"-bertos."

And stray cat outranks beef on their menus.

22. You can get in more trouble for cutting down a cactus then for

Which is why the Minutemen should be planting a wall of shoulder-to-shoulder cactus. Maybe then lawmakers would mount the appropriate tizzy.
