1.) I was in the military for 4 years. I just spent two years working full time and going to school full time. I graduated "With Distinction". I know how to work, too.

2.) I have a 4wd. It gets dirty and I don't cry about it. I try to keep it clean because I was taught to take care of the things I work my ass off to earn.

3.) You were learning to hunt and fish at 7? I was learning how to read and write at 7.

4.) They should probably quit worrying so much about their weight problems.

5.) You obviously haven't seen a 495 pound halibut, or a 1,000 pound sturgeon, have you?

6.) Quit peeking when I'm using the toilet.

7.) I sure hope that's not my sick mother calling for help when you shoot my cell phone.

8.) Enjoy your money however you wish to. You earned it and I have no right to chastise the way you spend it.

9.) Wasn't there an outbreak of salmonella poisoning a few years ago from people eating undercooked beef?

10.) Hmm, seems the mid west has some drug problems of its own: "Since 1994 methamphetamine/amphetamine...rates at least doubled between 1994 and 1999. (Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming)."

11.)Sorry, but California has one of the largest and most diverse ag industries in the world... tomatoes, potatoes, corn, fish, clams, oysters, rice, wheat, walnuts, oranges, abalone, clams, pastachios, watermelon, oranges, lemons, grapes, sugar, sea salt, peanuts, cheese, milk, lamb, osteriches/emus, chicken, beef, onions, beets, radishes, strawberries, canteloupe, honeydew, tangerines, cherries, tangerellos, grapefruit, loquats, avocado, et cetera... can your quarter-million dollar combines do all that?

12.) With all that cheap whiskey and hand-waving, how can you tell when its red?

13.) My dad's long haul ex-partner is a lady. A true lady. She drives because she likes to. She's logged more miles just backing up to docks than most guys have going forward.

14.) I'd be more than happy to take you to a real resaurant for sushi, sashimi and caviar so you don't have to keep eating at the bait shop.

15.) Thanks for the 4H lesson. We know about pigs too... and corn, and cows, and fish, and tomatoes... (read number 11 above)

16.) Our church serves breakfast to people that can't afford to eat, not to celebrate with people who can.

17.) I drive with both hands on the wheel. It's called safe driving. Understand the concept?

18.) We have the smarts to go fishing where you're not going to get whacked with errant golf balls.

19.) I always call people I don't know by "sir/ma'am", not just when I think it's going to help me get out of trouble that I got myself in to.

20.) Quit peeking when I'm using the toilet.

Welcome to California.
