Jeff Foxworthy
Versions of this circulate on social media, credited to comedian Jeff Foxworthy. He might actually have written them.

Note: I drove down Ballinger Way in LFP when there was 4 inches of snow on the ground and the temperatures were in the 20s. I passed a guy walking along the road who was wearing bermuda shorts - and flip-flops.

If you feel it necessary to sacrifice a goat on the rare days that that bright orb in the sky appears and you feel the rain Gods are angry with us you might be from Washington state.

I hate the gray skies and heat mist! This is why I live in AZ. Almost everyday I can see beautiful blue sky. There is a time every year for rain, but not like Seattle!

Jeff Foxworthy is the best of the best, not only did he get every joke absolutely correct, he is one of a very few who have made his career in clean jokes. By the way I've lived in Washinton all my life, 69 years and going strong. Thanks Jeff for your great humor.

You did pretty good there Jeff. But I think you left out a big topic for Washington, Bigfoot a.k.a Sasquatch. Lol. Maybe on your next go around. Thanks for your entertainment.

If your china cabinet has Tupperware in it, you are living in Washington.
