New Jersey quote....

"I am from NJ. I curse... a lot. I say "yo", and I say it often. I never had school on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. I sure as hell don't pump my own gas. I know what real pizza tastes like, and I know that a bagel is much more than a ****in' roll with a hole in the middle. I judge people by what exit they get off the parkway. I can navigate a circle--with attitude. All good nights must end at a diner--preferably with cheese fries. It's a sub, not a hoagie or, worse yet, a hero, and I wash it down with soda, not pop. Two words... "mother ****er." I don't go to the beach, I go down the shore. And boardwalk brawls are just a part of the atmosphere. Yes, I drink cawfee. I know that 65mph really means 80. I've always lived within 10 minutes of a mall. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn AND the finger. And they expect it. I am from New Jersey, and damn proud of it."

You live in North Carolina if

When people first meet you they ask which church you belong to

There are more churches than bars

Somehow racism is justified in the Bible

tourists can easily be spotted by there normal sized tires

there are more strip clubs than churches

being called a redneck is considered a compliment

There are more Dixie flags than stars and stripes flying

Every 5th street is named after a confederate general (robert e lee drive, stonewall jackson blvd etc)

people drive in Hurricanes but the streets a empty if there is even a rumour of snow

That lot equally apply to South Florida bizarrely.

Re: You live in...............
 

Well you can blame the bad driving on the Mass snowbirds. Sad lack of Dunkin Donuts down your way though. I'm lost without my latte in the morning and Starbucks are on a perm ban with me.

Re: You live in...............
 

Oy, don't think we're all hickeys and live in the sticks...we have D.Donuts and even a buncha KK's around (that's two K's, not three, though there are plenty of the latter around too!) ;)
