Oh MY GAWD, I thought NJ with it's "Jug handles" was bad ( The only state I think that you make a right in order to make a left!).but the Michigan Left beats all!

You live within 45 minutes of at least three different malls.

Someone at the beach once called you a benny.

You can see the New York City skyline from some part of your town.

You know what CCM is and a good percentage of people from your high school go there.

You've seen or been in a fight between a Rangers fan and a Devils fan.

You have or know someone with mafia connections too.

You think the New York Jets should be called the New Jersey Jets.

You have at least one friend who drives a truck.

You've been camping.

You've been in a town or city where Spanish is spoken more than English.

You can't remember when Clifton didn't win a softball championship.

You know where to get drugs in Paterson, Newark, or New York.

You've been to a party in the woods.

You've purchased fireworks in Chinatown.

You played in a P.A.L league.

You liked the Jets even before this season.

You know where to get a freshly cooked Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese sandwich at 2 a.m.

You've been to the Sussex County Fair.

You remember Action Park and may have been seriously injured there.

At some time you got on the wrong highway trying to get out of Willowbrook Mall.

Z-100 used to be your favorite radio station, now it's K-Rock.

You think people from South Jersey talk funny.

Every single place you've ever worked had a "back" that was entirely staffed by hispanic people with the radio blasting salsa music.

Most of your friends are at least 2 different ethinic groups (probably one of them being italian)

You'd rather be getting tortured in the jungles of vietnam than on ANY highway in north jersey at rush hour.

You think that even people living in South Jersey are hicks.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from North Jersey.



AIN'T IT THE TRUTH !!!

SO THERE

[paperclippy]

Here are my favorites . . .

You know you're from Los Angeles when:

* You eat a different ethnic food for every meal
* You know it's best not to be on the 405 at 4:05 pm.
* You know what "sigalert", "PCH", and "the five" mean.
* If your destination is more than 5 minutes away on foot, you're definitely driving.
* Your TV show is interrupted by a police chase. (when I was a kid my Saturday morning cartoons were interrupted by the police scene at OJ Simpson's house!)
* You can't fall asleep without the lull of a helicopter flying overhead. (I would add, and a police siren in the distance!)
* You've ever bought oranges, flowers, cherries or peanuts on a freeway off-ramp.
* You've started crossing a street and returned to the curb when the DON'T WALK sign started flashing. (I totally do this, it has been really hard to adjust to Rhode Island!)
* You eat pineapple on pizza. (I seriously don't get why people don't get pineapple on pizza around here!)
* You are awakened in the middle of the night by a moderate earthquake. Your reply: "That ain't even a 5-pointer" and go back to sleep.
* You think you are better than the people who live "Over the Hill". It don't matter which side of the hill you are currently residing, you are just better than them, for whatever reason.
* You live 10 miles from work. It takes you 60 minutes to get home.
* You know what In N Out is and feel bad for all the other states because they don't have any.



And my favorites...
* When giving directions , you follow up with the phrase: "With/Without traffic."
* You say you live in LA when really you live in a subsection of a subsection of a subsection of LA.
* It's sprinkling and there's a report on every news station about "STORM WATCH '99"
* You call 911 and they put you on hold. (I personally know people this has happened to!)

Now I live in Rhode Island, but having only been here a year I still don't get most of the "you know you're from Rhode Island when" jokes. Here are the few I have gotten though:

* You know what "3 all the way" means.
* You have pulled out of a sidestreet and used your car to block oncoming traffic so you could make a left-hand turn. (I call this the "rhode Island left")
* You've boasted about the money you saved at the Christmas Tree Shop.
* You know how to pronounce Pawtucket, Cowesett, Usqepaug, and Narragansett. (Actually, I don't know how to pronounce Usqepaug, but I know the others!)
* You use the expression "down-city" for downtown.
* You know what "ProJo" stands for.
* You always start giving directions by saying, "Well, you get on 95"
* You know where "NiRoPe" comes from.
* You know you need "quahogs" to make "stuffies".

LOL! I was born and raised in OH, then spent most of the rest of my life in WV. But when I moved to NH, the first time we visited the Outback Steakhouse just over the MA border there, I ordered a diet pop. The waitress said "what?" I said a "diet pop". She looked at me like I was nuts. I said "diet pepsi or coke". She said "OHHHHHHH, a SODA!"

[JuliaTN]

You can tell somebody "ain't from round here" when they call it either a soda or a pop (or a soda pop for that matter). It's a Coke which can then be specified to be Sprite, diet or even Pepsi.

[diamond_girl]

this is where I lived most of my life:

You Know You're From Florida When...
You own at least five pairs of flip flops

You know someone who's been struck by lightning

You're more scared of the freaks who live down the street than gators

Your backyard is sometimes a swamp

You're officially sick of Disney

You shrug off hurricane warnings

You've been permanently blinded by fat men in speedos

There are only two seasons - hot and hotter

You've drank a flaming alligator.

I live in ohio now, but well I just don't get them, LOL
