You know you’re from Fresno when …

You have to explain to friends from out of town what animal a "Tri-tip" comes from.

Your out-of-town friends start to visit after October, but clear out before the end of April.

You realize that Valley Fever isn't a disco dance.

Anywhere "and 99" is too far away.

Running from the police consists of hiding in a vineyard.

You have "foggy" school days instead of Snow Days.

To put Fresno on the map, you mention all the famous people from here: Kevin Federline, Marcus Wesson and Amber Frey.

You can say 115 degrees without fainting.

It's a good day when the air quality is only Moderately Severe.

People break out coats and Uggs when the temperature drops below 70.

**************************************************************

These Fresno quips came from the Facebook group “You Know You're From Fresno When ...”

The one about running from the police had me laughing the most – wouldn’t be so funny if it weren’t so true.

There’s much more where this came from – join the group here.

While you’re at it, you can ‘friend’ Fresno Famous on Facebook now too.
