I got this from a Florida friend, who got it from another friend, who got it from another friend, etc. But I believe it was originally in the Orlando Sentinel. It's great to know our friends in the Sunshine State are maintaining their senses of humor!

30 THINGS CHARLEY AND FRANCES (AND I GUESS JEANNE TOO!) TAUGHT US:

1. An oak tree on the ground looks four times bigger than it did standing up.

2. Even after all these years it is still nice to spend time with Colonel Mustard in the ballroom with the lead pipe.

3. When house hunting, look for closets with lots of leg room.

4. Water from the shower is much colder than water from the kitchen sink.

5. AAA, AA, C and D are the only alphabet we need.

6. The four-way stop is still an ingenious reflection of civility.

7. Radio can be a good way to watch television.

8. Chainsaw-wielding men are nothing to be afraid of.

9. SUV's are the best makeshift tents on the market.

10. You can use your washing machine as a cooler.

11. It's your God-given right to sit on your back porch and eat Chinese takeout by candlelight in your underwear.

12. We shouldn't complain about "useless" tools in the garage-- we actually DO need a generator.

13. You can't spell "priceless" without I-C-E.

14. Downed power lines make an excellent security system.

15. Any peanut butter will do.

16. Gasoline is a value at any price.

17. Cell phones: Breaking up isn't hard to do.

18. The life blood of any disaster recovery is COFFEE.

19. The need for your dog to go out and take care of business is inversely proportional to the severity of the storm.

20. Candlelight is better than botox--- it takes years off your appearance.

21. Air Conditioning: BEST INVENTION EVER.

22. Water is a comfort food. But 3-day-old Cheetos are too.

23. Shadow animals on the wall---still fun.

24. No matter how hard the wind blows, roadside campaign signs will survive.

25. You should never admit to having power at your house in the presence of co-workers or neighbors who do not.

26. There's a plus to having NOTHING in the refrigerator.

27. Getting through the day should be an Olympic event.

28. The movie theater can be a most pleasant place, even if the feature is Alien vs. Predator.

29. Somebody's got it worse.

30. Somebody's got it better. Obviously, they are getting preferential treatment.
