Every state in the union has a little something that makes it special and memorable. Vermont has its maple syrup and Maine has its lobsters. California has surfing and Colorado has skiing. South Dakota has Mount Rushmore and North Dakota has the highway to South Dakota. You get the idea.
Florida is a memorable state for a slew of reasons, however, and it's not just Spring Break and Disney.
I don't know if there's a strategy to wrapping your home in aluminum foil, like repelling the sun's intense rays, but if so, why wrap the tree, too?
How the heck do you mess up in the parking lot so badly that you end up on top of another car? How??
Where else but Florida would you see someone riding a horse painted up like a zebra and walking their dog (off-leash in traffic) at the same time?
Apparently they were even barking. To each their own, but I don't want to think of what else they might have done on the grass.
Just when a refreshing splash in the water would do a world of good, the sun comes along and ruins it all.
It's well down the list with these folks. Ratchet straps are great and all, but come on now.
Driving a coffin around on your chopper, when you've got no helmet and you're wearing sandals, is just asking for trouble.
Just imagine the guy on the motorbike with no helmet or goggles driving around in this!
Sometimes their pets are alligators. Sometimes they get their own ATVs. This is peak Florida.
And what are you going to say to an 11-foot eating machine? No?
The rules of golf should be different in Florida — you should be able to take a drop if your ball lands on a gator's head. That's a ridiculous lie.
Florida Power and Light had to contend with both a massive gator and a cozy pile of snakes!
And I don't know if the barbed wire at the top will even stop this thing. Gators are going to go where gators are going to go.
For once, I would rather pull out a straggly ball of soggy, slimy hair, thank you very much.
I think that means the gators own Florida now. Anything that can take down a giant python is a winner in my books.
