Reasons not to move to Florida

by Ross Catrow

  1. You think Richmond is humid? Ha!
  2. Nearly twenty percent of Florida residents are 65 or older. That means out of every five people you see on the street one will be saggy (spell check suggested “slaggy” — which is not the same thing) and wrinkly.
  3. Real backwoods folk live in Florida, not Virginia. These dudes live in swamps. Literally.
  4. Without the Croc Hunter there is nothing that stands between you and death by gator (He hunted alligators too, fyi. He actually hunted the shit out of anything that moved. RIP buddy).
  5. Florida is one of four states on the east coast that the Appalachian Trail does not cross.
  6. Florida is home to FSU, UF and UM. I am apathetic (not ambivalent) about UF, but utterly detest the others.
  7. If you happen to be in Miami for a UM Football game try not to get stabbed. Seriously.
  8. Katherine Harris might be insane.
