It’s pretty evident by now that living in Florida isn’t all beach and bikini’s. The beach may move to another part of the state or even to another state entirely. The wind taking the bikini’s isn’t a downside unless it takes the babe too. That would suck.

The Floridians take it all in stride though. Hurricanes are a part of living there. Granted, this year the natives have developed a strange, drawn look as well as facial tics and a tendency to curse all storms, hurricanes or not.

“Well, it coulda become one, you know”, one longtime resident told another.

“Yea, out there, out there, not here on land”, the other replied.

“Yea? You know everything there is to know about it, huh. Well, nature can change that anytime and we can’t do a thing about it, Mr. Smartypants”.

Disney World even shutdown- an hour early. Mickey and Friends aren’t afraid of hurricanes. That may be due to the fact that they’re cartoon characters. Surprise! Paper blows away in a hurricane too. Mickey and friends are now spread over 14 states.

The cruise lines announced that they may have to delay departures. They may have to find the cruise ships and the crew. Last year they got blown to New Orleans and didn’t charge extra for it.

John Kerry said, “Wow! There’d be some real windsurfing!”. He was all excited about going until his campaign advisors told him it would look, “uncool”. He said he’d try it next year when he wasn’t running for President. He’ll still look “uncool” but no one will care.

One guy lost the roof off his house but gained a yacht in the backyard.

“Heck, my insurance will pay for the roof. I’d a never been able to buy a yacht”.

Contractors descended on Florida like leeches on a bare leg. Some of them went straight to jail by not knowing Florida has a “no-overcharging” law. That doesn’t seem right to these guys.

“Hey, man!, this is America. Whatever happened to free enterprise? Whatever happened to getting the going rate no matter if it’s fair or not? What’s this, some Commie plot?”
