You've lived in
Pennsylvania too long when:
1. "Hey youz guyz" is your
standard greeting, and its
politically correct for all sexes.
2. The first day of Buck season and the first
day of Doe
season are school holidays.
3. One of the highlights of your life was a
field trip to
Penn's cave and Horseshoe curve.
4. You know exactly what to do when your mother
tells you
to "red up" your room.
5. You know the time and location of every "wing
night" in
a 20 mile radius
6. You don't think people from Philly or
Pittsburgh talk
funny.
7. You don't understand what all the hype is
about for
Yeungling or Rolling Rock beer, you've been drinking it
for years even
though Iron City is cheaper.
8. You consider an exotic vacation a trip to the
Jersey
shore.
9 . You are over 35 yrs. old, have never been
outside of
Pennsylvania and don't see any need to leave.
10. You own only three spices "salt, pepper and
Heinz
ketchup".
11. You design your children's Halloween
costumes to fit
over a snow suit.
12. Driving is always better in winter because
the potholes
are filled with snow.
13. You find 20 degrees just a little chilly.
14. You can recite the four seasons: almost
winter, winter,
still winter and construction.
15. Words like "hoagie", "sub", "chipped ham",
and "pop"
actually mean something to you.
16. You can use the phrase "fire hall wedding
reception"
and not even bat an eye.
17. You think very little of an Amish buggy on the
road.
18. You learned long ago how to "step carefully"
around the
buggy tie-ups in the supermarket parking lot.
19. You constantly refer to Pennsylvania as "PA"
(pronounced Pee-ay). How many other states do that?
20. You can go 2 weeks in winter without
sunshine and think
this is normal.
21. You know that Intercourse, Climax,
Bird-in-Hand, Virginville, Paradise, Mars, and Slippery
Rock are PA towns.
22. There is no such thing as a "Philly
Cheesesteak". Its
just called a Cheesesteak since everybody knows where
they come from.
23. You know what
gumbands are
24. You actually understood all these jokes and
are now
forwarding them to your PA friends
So youz guyz, lets red up, grab a pop
and watch those Stillers soon in Blitzburgh!!!!!
