If you don't laugh, you'll cry

Florida folks-- I am hoping and praying that Jeanne will disappear! Y'all have been through enough! Heck... we all have.
A friend sent me this earlier this week. I thought we could use something to laugh about before things get really busy.

Top Ten Reasons Hurricane Season is Like Christmas:
10. Decorating the house (boarding up windows)
9. Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season
(camping gear, flashlights)
8. Last minute shopping in crowded stores
7. Regular TV shows pre-empted for "specials"
6. Family coming to stay with you
5. Family and friends from out-of-state calling
4. Buying food you don't normally buy ... and in large quantities
3. Days off from work
2. Candles

And the number one reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas ...
At some point you know you're going to have a tree in your house!
(There is also a lot more praying going on!!!)

Things Hurricanes Teach Us
-------------------------------------
-An oak tree on the ground looks four times bigger than it did standing up.
-When house hunting, look for closets with lots of leg room.
-Water from the shower is much colder than water from the kitchen sink,
and tastes just as bad.
-AA, C and D are the only alphabet we need (batteries).
-The four-way stop is still an ingenious reflection of civility.
-Radio can be the best way to watch television.
-Chain-saw wielding men are nothing to be afraid of.
-SUV's are the best makeshift tents on the market.
-You can use your washing machine as a cooler.
-It's your God given right to sit on your back porch and eat Chinese
take-out by candlelight in your underwear.
-We shouldn't complain about "useless" tools in the garage, we really
DO need a generator.
-You can't spell "priceless" without I-C-E.
-Downed power lines make excellent security systems.
-Lakes can generate waves.
-Gasoline is a value at any price.
-Cell phones: Breaking up isn't hard to do.
-The life blood of any disaster recovery is COFFEE, MT. DEW, and COORS LIGHT!
-The need for your dog to go out and take care of business is inversely
proportional to the severity of the storm.
-Candlelight is better than Botox --- It takes years off your appearance.
-Air Conditioning: BEST INVENTION EVER.
-Water is a comfort food. But 3-day-old Cheetos are too.
-Shadow animals on the wall are still fun.
-No matter how hard the wind blows, roadside campaign signs will survive.
-You should never admit to having power at your house in the presence
of co-workers or friends who don't.
-There's a plus to having NOTHING in the refrigerator.
-Getting through the day should be an Olympic event.
-Somebody's got it worse.

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. Charles Swindoll
