This was just too good to hold on to....
I've read several of these, but this is the best:
You know you're from Jersey if:
You don't think of fruit when people mention "The Oranges".
You know that it's called Great Adventure, not Six Flags.
A good, quick breakfast is a hard roll with butter.
You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You've eaten at a Diner when you were drunk at 3 a.m.
You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen
and you know the town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
You know what a "jug handle" is.
You know that WaWa is a convenience store and you can name the addresses of 17 of them.
You know that the state isn't all farmland.
You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey -there's the shore and
You don't go to the shore, you go "down the Shore". And when you are there,
You're not "at the shore", you are "down the Shore".
You know how to properly negotiate a Circle.
You knew that the last sentence had to do with driving.
You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't
require "New" to identify it (like...Mexico, ...York, Hampshire)
You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food
chain AND a fast food sandwich.
You consider putting mayo on a corned beef sandwich a sacrilege.
You don't think "What exit" is very funny.
You know that people from the 609 area code are "a little
different".
You know that no respectable New Jersey student goes to Princeton -
that's for out-of-staters.
The Jets-Giant-Eagles games have started fights at your school or
local bar.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
Every year you have at least one kid in your class named Tony.
You know the location of every clip shown in the Sopranos opening
credits.
You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of the mall.
You know that people from North Jersey go to Seaside Heights,
people from Central Jersey go to Belmar and people from South Jersey go to
Wildwood or Ocean City. It can be no other way.
You weren't raised in New Jersey you were raised in either North
Jersey, Central Jersey or South Jersey.
You don't consider Newark or Camden to actually be part of the state.
You remember the stores Korvette's, Two Guys, Rickel's, Channel,
Bamburger's and Orbach's.
You've had a Boardwalk cheese steak and vinegar fries.
You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February
And finally...You've NEVER, NEVER pumped your own gas (AMEN!)
"New Jersey's the place where you can't left turn, New Jersey's the place with the jughandle turn!" I don't know if you'd remember this Julie, but one of the radio stations did an awesome parody of Miami once.
Come to think of it, I still think of it as Great Adventure and not Six Flags.
I didn't even get the "What exit?" thing until I moved away. And it isn't very funny.
It's late, I have a splitting headache and my homework's done. I should go to bed now.
I haven't updated in so long that I feel like i'm gyping myself (not to mention my fans) out of some great quotes I've accumulated. Enjoy.

QOTD: "No shirt, no shoes, no schooling." (Hey, a radio free roscoe quote that pertains to stuff!)
"You don't practice law, is all I was saying!"
"I don't practice law? I help write the laws! I write the laws! I make the laws! I am the law!"
"Oh come ontiny Billbbles, everyone knows you're the Moleinthewine."
"What? I'm the winner! Yeah, me! Holey moley!"
"Eskimos...you know, in Canada."
"Eskimos are in Alaska you idiot! You know, the 51st state!"
