Man these are great! Cali cracks me up. Funny out of Colorado and that Democrats comment especially considering some of the goings on in Colorado Springs area, I love it. Ah Wisconsin, my current alma mater, we can't begin to explain how much the people of Wisconsin are oblivious to the goings on of the rest of the world. Where our capital city, Madison, is also reffered to the "Peoples Republic of Madison".

12) A 500 square foot apartment is large.

13) Your co-worker commutes 45 minutes by train to a 2,000 square foot house in the suburbs that was the same price as that same 500 square foot apartment of yours that takes only 35 minutes to get to and you think he's a sucker.

25) You don't even notice the nice lady walking down the road having a perfectly normal conversation with her self.
