JanSParticipantdoes anyone else feel like we need to lighten up a little? Here’s an oldie but goodie :)
THIS IS WHAT JEFF FOXWORTHY HAS TO SAY ABOUT LIVING IN WASHINGTON STATE :
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don’t work there, you live in Washington .
If you’ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Washington .
If you’ve had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number, you live in Washington ..
If you measure distance in hours, you live in Washington .
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Washington .
If you have switched from ‘heat’ to ‘A/C’ and back again in the same day, you live in Washington .
If you install security lights on your house and garage but leave both doors unlocked, you live in Washington .
If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Central, Southern or Eastern Washington .
If you design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over 8 layers of clothes, you live in Washington .
If the speed limit on the highway is 60 mph — you’re going 80, and everyone is still passing you, you live in Washington .
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow and ice, you live in Washington .
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Washington ..
If you actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your WASHINGTON friends, you live or have lived in Washington .
anyone else have something to contribute?

TheHouseMemberI would challenge this and state that these are not actually Jeff Forworthy jokes. They are in the style of Foxworthy, but he makes “redneck” jokes and has no ties to Washington State as far as I know.
But, yes. I agree that the forum needs to lighten up.

JanSParticipantK…well, I received them in an e-mail…and I suppose that if you google Jeff Foxworthy Washington State, there are quite a few sites who attribute these to him…there are also others…so take that for what it’s worth. Jeff Foxworthy doesn’t just make fun of rednecks in the south, he makes fun of rednecks everywhere :)(although are there more in the south to make fun of?)

JanSParticipantand something similar…who knows where they really came from…

KevinParticipantThat was cute Jan. Thanks for sharing.

Lucile 2MemberJan, that’s funny! Can I edit one?
Okay, here it goes. If the speed limit on the highway is 60 and everyone is going 55 or below in all 4 lanes, you live in Washington.

mrhinehMemberLucile 2: Spot on!! Infuriating how people can’t move over.
Here’s another:
If you pull up to a 4 way stop and everyone waves each other on and waits…and waits…you live in Washington.

sam-cParticipantI like that, and didn’t get the highway one either; that must be east of the mountains, on the way to Spokane. but the revised version: 55 mph, is perfect.
Like the 4 way stop one. that is perfect.
May 29, 2009 at 4:10 pm #668171
GenHillOneParticipantEven better, mrhineh – if you’re at a TWO way stop and everyone still stops and waves each other on…and waits…
Happens to me DAILY, including this morning, WTF?
May 29, 2009 at 4:31 pm #668172
Lucile 2Membercracking up about the 4 and 2 way stops. How true!

AimParticipantIf you’re at a light-controlled intersection and the pedestrians are patiently waiting for the light to change before crossing, you live in Washington.

PatrickKeymasterRon Judd once said that the average Seattle six year-old knows the alphabet, can count to 100, and can identify over two dozen shades of gray.

RainyDay1235MemberIf you are familiar with the term “sun break”, you live in Washington.
May 29, 2009 at 8:18 pm #668176
mrhinehMemberIf you can break down the rain into 5 or more discriptions, you live in (Seattle) Washington:
misting
dripping
drizzling
coming down
pouring
just raining

bsmommaParticipantI Love the phone conversation one! It’s happened to me twice this week!

datamuseParticipantIf you’re at a light-controlled intersection and the pedestrians are patiently waiting for the light to change before crossing, you live in Washington.
Corollary: if you stand at a light-controlled intersection waiting for the light to change even though it’s two a.m. and there’s no traffic, you live in Washington.
(It took me forever to get used to this. In D.C., you can only get across streets by aggressively occupying the crossing with your fellow pedestrians.)
