most of them were funny but these were just the best

2. When a stranger on the street smiles at you:
a. you assume he is drunk
b. he is insane
c. he's an American

8. Your coffee consumption exceeds 6 cups a day and coffee is too weak if there is less than two spoonfuls per person.

18. You refuse to wear a hat, even in -30°C weather.
