Ok D, here it is.

You know you're from NJ if ...

-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 stoned or drunk, at 3 a.m. its the only place to be!!

-You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery .

-You know what a "jug handle" is and can make your way around it.

-You know that WaWa is a convenience
store.

-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 that "Piney" isn't referring to a tree.

-Even your school cafeteria made good Italian subs.

-You know how to properly negotiate a Circle.

-You knew that the last question had to do with driving.

-You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try...Mexico, ...York, ...Hampshire) you're from "Jersey"

-You only go to New York City for day trips, and you call it "The City".

-You consider putting mayo on a corned beef sandwich or swiss cheese on a Philly Cheesesteak a sacrilege.

-You don't think "What exit" is very funny.

-You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.

-You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.

-You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.

-Every year, you had a 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, and people from Central
Jersey go to Belmar and people from South Jersey go to Wildwood, LBI and Cape May. It can be no other way.

-You were not raised in New Jersey. You
were raised in either North 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.
