  1. I've lived in Florida without air conditioning in the summer. You just have to stay out of the hot sun if you can.

  2.  @christianjackson4093  you get used to the heat. My aunt didn't have air conditioning. That and we'd have to put this crap on the window screens so the bugs wouldn't go through it. So hardly any air would come in either. They have these tiny bugs in Florida called noseeums. They're basically mouths with wings. I don't think they can actually really fly. Because they blow around in the wind. It's like the air is biting you.

  5.  @HumanAction76  the last time I was in Florida I couldn't get out fast enough. I've been to some sketchy places hailing from the New York metropolitan area myself but I was very uncomfortable at a gas station on the wrong side of the tracks in Fort Pierce. I made it up to the Space Coast that night and stayed in some motel on the side of the highway then set out bright and early and made it home in a day. That was on a Sunday and apparently Florida Man doesn't get up too early himself. So I was able to breeze right through the heart of Jacksonville. The way down there was a mess with road construction all around the bypass highway. If I ever go back to Florida I'll fly into Miami then take a hop flight out to Key West. And I really hate to fly. You can keep the rest of the state.

  6. Floridians don't have tans. If you have a tan that means you're a laborer. People of status stay indoors in air conditioning. My aunt told me that and she's lived in Florida for over 30 years. So I think she'd know. She bought when the market was still good and owns property on the Drive. Place has to be worth 7 figures now.

  7. Most folks living in Florida now will be dead in 30 years so I doubt they care. Their brat kids will inherit nothing too!

  8. No one cares about swamps.

  9.  @Philip_Taylor  if it got as hot in the UK as it can in the US you people would die. Literally. In the summer it hits 105°F every day in Florida. It's no dry heat either. You sweat and it doesn't even evaporate. It's a tropical climate. Suitable only for mad dogs and Englishmen.

  10. Yeah they want to keep the riff raff out.

  11.  @AdamSmith-gs2dv  I've never been to Albany. The only place in upstate New York I've ever been to is Unadilla. They hold the world GP motocross race there. So we go there to burn stuff.

  12. Floridians are tougher than roaches so a little rain isn't going to clean them out.

  13. I've driven to Key West and it is like driving on water. It's unique.

  14. The Redneck Riviera?

  15.  @kianna270  if I ever get a hankering to go to Florida I'll just watch Deliverance. Close enough. My aunt has Burt's couch. She really does! He was having a yard sale and she bought it. Was when he split up with Lonie. He was another Florida man.

  16.  @jordanlaramore5430  it's the one place in Florida that I've never been. But I've heard about it.

  17. So, what will you do when you get old?

  18. There's no native crocodiles in Florida. They have alligators there.

  19. Why? No one in Florida uses metric.

  20.  @AverageJimothy  yes but none of them count. War is the only way us Americans learn any geography.

  22. I don't even like to visit.
