You Might be From New Jersey If.....

You Might be from New Jersey if...

You go "down the shore" not "to the beach".
You know how to navigate a traffic circle.
You have never pumped your own gas and like it that way.
Its AC not Atlantic City.
Its GREAT ADVENTURE not Six Flags.
You have eaten at a Diner at 3AM.
You know the names of all 3 Pep Boys (Manny Moe & Jack).
Its 4 KID RIVER not Forked River.
You know the MINIMUM speed on the Turnpike and Parkway is 75 MPH.
Its "wooder" not water...................

And you don't laugh at the word "Wawa".

First WaWa I remember was the one
in Villa Park on Liberty Street and Revere Avenue:)
There is a big WaWa in Florence
Twp on Rt 130.. I call it the
WaWa Castle, it sells gas too.

Pork Roll slightly burnt with cheese on a hard roll:))))

They can take us out of
Jersey but they can never take
Jersey out of us:)

You shop at the Ac-a-me

you live in Tren-in or Nork

you can hot wire a car (or you should be able to)

You know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried

Your sisters-husbands-brother is related to Tony Soprano

...and last, you pay the highest taxes in the US, for worst politicians in the world

Mack said...

Barb folks NOT from Jersey have
the crazy idea Jimmy Hoffa is
buried on the 50 yard line at
Giants Stadium. Thats so absurd
it doesnt deserve a response.
Jimmy is buried on the 40 yard line
of course:)

We're planning a vacation to NJ this summer with my family and parents. Mom was born and raised in Trenton. She said she wants to take my kids "down the shore" one day. My sister wants to go to "Great Adventure." And me--I'll take some pork roll sandwiches, thanks very much.

Now someone get me a drink of wooder, will ya?

My kids were born and raised in Ohio where pork roll, hard roll, and tomato pie are unknown concepts. Plus it's wooder. Don't you kids know anything?
