The mintues and 'coke' one are so true. "What coke do you want?" "Mountain Dew" lol
Also the flip-flop one. One of the big pluses with my old job, was that I was able to wear sandals.

I knew the sting ray shuffle almost as I learned to walk.
We ran from Charley for 2 days

I have been around beach life for so long that I understand about 95% of that list. AND I have been through Yeehaw Junction. I thought it was cute!
OH and btw....my goal in life is to wear flip flops all year 'round

HAHAHA!!!! EXACTLY! If you don't like how I drive then get out of the way!
Just kidding. I don't get "road rage" but do know how to drive. I can cut in and out of traffic without cutting people off, if that makes sense. Those who have driven here know what I mean. You have to know when to jump in without cutting people off.

Hey, it ain't easy to merge/signal, and scratch your ankles because of all the mosqutio bites from wearing flipflops all the time.

my family makes fun of me because i will have little ankle socks on with my flip flops wandering around the house in the middle of winter.

Have to wear socks. I am in the panhandle and it is freezing outside right now. Supposed to get down in the 50s I think.
