You know you're in Arizona when...




  a.. You've signed so many petitions to recall governors that you can't 
remember the name of the incumbent.


  b.. You notice your car overheating before you drive it.


  c.. You can say Hohokam and people don't think you're laughing funny.


  d.. You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.


  e.. You see more irrigation water flowing down the street than there is in 
the Salt River.


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


  g.. You can say 115 degrees without fainting.


  h.. You have to go to a fake beach for fake waves.


  i.. You quickly discover (in July) that it only takes two fingers to drive 
your car.


  j.. You can make sun tea outside faster than instant tea in the microwave.


  k.. You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use 
your fireplace.


  l.. You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of 
distance.


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


  n.. Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one.


  o.. You can (correctly) pronounce the words: "Saguaro", "Tempe", "Gila 
Bend", "San Xavier", "Canyon de Chelly", "Mogollon Rim", "Cholla", and 
"Tlaquepague".


  p.. It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is 
moving on the streets.


  q.. You actually burn your hand opening the car door.


  r.. Sunscreen is sold year round, kept at the front of the checkout 
counter, a formula less than 30 SPF is a joke, and you wear it just to go to 
Circle K.


  s.. Some fool can market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools 
will actually buy them.


  t.. Hot air balloons can't go up, because the air outside is hotter than 
the air inside.


  u.. No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car.


  v.. You can understand the reason for a town named "Why".
