The Wettest State

Oregon is one of the wettest states in the Union. Hear are some Oregonian facts:
1. Oregonians don't tan, they rust
2. Rustoleum is the number one selling suntan oil in Oregon.
3. Glasses sold in Oregon come standard with windshield wipers.
4. Oregonians are so used to rain that a half inch of snow closes the schools
5. Oregonians picnic in the rain. We just open the sunroof on the umbrella if the sun comes out.
6. True Oregonians have web feet. Helps us cross the street easier.
7. In Oregon if you don't like the weather, wait 2 weeks and it will change to another storm.
8. Oregonians don't by flood insurance, they all live in houseboats.
9. When the comet Hale Bop first flew by at night, half the population thought they had seen the sun for the first time.
