...you and your friends think a group hug involves randori.

...your wife holds your hand and you think how can I get ikkyu from here

...you wear your hakama to work.

...your hear someone say broken and you think they said bokken and break into kata.

...you name your daughter Irimi, or your dog Oshitaoshi.

… After being concussed, you bounce right up, and sensei about has to wrestle you off the mat...

…All the yudansha are sprawled on the floor after randori (not with you) and you're bouncing around like the proverbial aiki-ferret.

… It's a struggle not to ikkyo or sankyo someone if their hands swing forward in front of you, or your hands swing forward while you're holding theirs

… You have 3 bokkens in your golf bag

… If you reply to controversy with "Oh yeah, Grab my wrist!!!

… See a big hall and make decide forward rolls would get you through it quicker.

… you drag as many friends as possible to the dojo so you can practice outside the dojo

… the ambulance crew know your name

… You find yourself "blending with and redirecting" your cat when it tries to jump onto
your lap uninvited

the Aikido dreams start.

you no longer grip anything with your index
fingers.

You wonder how you would flip someone in an elevator.

A crowded sidewalk always means tai sabaki practice.

You've tried doing mai ukemi down a hill -- or on cement.

After being thrown with a powerful technique you jump up saying "Do it again, Do it again"

You tap out... after stubbing your toe

--Instead of folding your hands when you're sitting, you hold your own wrist, being sure to use the little finger line.

--You meet an attractive person and your first throught is "Wouldn't they look nice taking ukemi?"

When you see a strait wooden stick, such as a broken broom handle, you automatically refer to it as a jo.

This is kind of funny since I’ve only taken 1 Jo class-

While I was home for x-mass I went out with one of my girlfriends and had to park down the street from her house.. So as I’m brushing the snow off of my car off at 2am I was wondering if someone came up if I could whack them with my snow brush.. then I started laughing that I had a snow brush big enough to be used like a Jo!!
