****The Official Friday Silliness Thread****
Posted on 06/20/2008 5:20:26 AM PDT by Lucky9teen
It's 
Being from Arizona, I have to pass these along (they can apply to other "hot" states as well)...It's so hot in Arizona that...
- the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
- the potatoes cook underground, and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
- farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
- the cows are giving evaporated milk.
- the trees are whistling for the dogs.
- you no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.
- you can say 113 degrees without fainting.
- you eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off.
- you can make instant sun tea.
- you learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.
- the temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly.
- you've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
- you would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
- you can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.
- The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!
- you discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
- you discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window.
- you notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
- hot water now comes out of both taps.
- it's noon in June, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.
- you actually burn your hand opening the car door.
- you break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work.
- no one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning.
- your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
- you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
- a sad Arizonan once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old."
Thankfully, today is Ice Cream Soda Day!!!

LOL Thanks for posting the Heat in Arizona stuff. We have a summer Intern in our office from ASU who has been talking about the 100+ AZ June temps she left behind, for our much more comfortable 60’s and 70’s here in the Seattle area. I must pass your post on to her to rub it in a little.

Can you solve this puzzle?
You are riding on a beautiful white horse.
On your left side is a drop off.
On your right side are several ostriches being chased by a lion.
In front of you are four large gazelles which won't get out of your way and you can't seem to overtake them.
Behind you is a stampede of horses.
What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation?
For the answer click and drag your mouse from star to star.

Arizona is so hot that...
1. Lakes have formed throughout the state from all the sweat that is being produced.
2. The sun is hiding behind the clouds just to keep cool.
3. The devil has started outsourcing to Tempe.
4. All the cemetaries have turned into crematoriums.
5. Cigarettes smoke themselves.
6. It’s now possible to skate on the glassy surface of the once sandy desert.
7. Fire burns itself out from sheer embarrassment.
8. Breathing in the hot air too fast will actually lift you into the sky.
9. Restaurants can only serve beef as well-done, very well-done, extremely well-done, and ash.
10. Even Internet spam is stopped at the borders of the state.

Oh, Lucky... It’s just a dry heat!
Speaking of Arizona, I’ll be in Phoenix twice this summer.
Early July and Early August. I’m looking to earn the “I survived 120°” T-shirt!

I have a sad story to tell you.
It may hurt your feelings a bit.
Last night when I walked into my bathroom,
I stepped in a big pile of ...
SHAVING CREAM, be nice and clean.
Shave everyday and you’ll always look keen!
I think I’ll break off with my girlfriend.
Her antics are queer I’ll admit.
Each time I say, “Darling, I love you,”
She tells me that I’m full of ...
SHAVING CREAM, be nice and clean.
Shave everyday and you’ll always look keen!
Our baby fell out of the window.
You’d think that her head would be split.
But good luck was with her that morning;
She fell in a barrel of ...
SHAVING CREAM, be nice and clean.
Shave everyday and you’ll always look keen!
An old lady died in a bathtub;
She died from a terrible fit.
In order to fulfill her wishes,
She was buried in six feet of ...
SHAVING CREAM, be nice and clean.
Shave everyday and you’ll always look keen!
When I was in France with the army,
One day I looked into my kit.
I thought I would find me a sandwich,
But the darn thing was loaded with ...
SHAVING CREAM, be nice and clean.
Shave everyday and you’ll always look keen!
And now, folks, my story is ended.
I think it is time I should quit.
If any of you feel offended,
Stick your head in a barrel of ...
SHAVING CREAM, be nice and clean.
Shave everyday and you’ll always look keen!

Dr. Demento had a radio show where he played all the funny songs like that.
It was really funny.

Arizona is so hot that...
11. New island formations have been discovered in the Indian Ocean, Arizona’s antipode.
12. The term “it’s raining cats and dogs!” has been replaced with “it’s evaporating cats and dogs!”
13. The borders of the state have expanded. As such, John McCain is requesting that California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico fork over some of their electoral college votes.
14. Groups affiliated with the aztlán movement have reconsidered and now claim they have a legal and primordial right to Alaska, parts of Canada, and the North Pole.
15. Computer retailers are reporting an increase of thefts of processor chip fans.
