You Know You're In Arizona When You've signed so many petitions to recall governors you can't remember the name of the incumbent You notice your car overheating before you drive it You can say "Hohokam" and people don't think you're laughing funny You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour... and it'll be over 100 degrees You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves You discover, in July, that it only takes two fingers to drive your car You know you can make sun tea instantly You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace The best parking place is determined by shade -- not distance You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one You can pronounce the words: "Saguaro", "Tempe", "San Xavier", "Canyon de Chelly", "Mogollon Rim" and "Cholla" It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both people and cars You actually burn your hand opening the car door Sunscreen is sold year round, kept right at the checkout counter Sunscreen w/a formula less than 50 spf is a joke You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mailbox Some fool can market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them Worse -- some fools actually try to jog You know that hot air balloons can't rise, because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car You can understand the reason for a town named "Why"
