My best friend just sent this to me. Makes me long for home ...
You Know You're from New Jersey When...
...you recognize or can relate to at least 10 of these:
You've been seriously injured at Action Park.
You don't think of citrus when people mention "The Oranges."
You know that it's called "Great Adventure, " not "Six Flags."
You've ordered a hard roll with butter for breakfast.
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 am.
At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know what town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
You know that a WaWa is a convenience store.
You know that there are no "beaches" in new Jersey - there's "The Shore"
You know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway" not "The Garden State Highway."
Even your school cafeteria made good Italian subs, and, you call it a "sub" not a "submarine sandwich" or worse yet, a "hoagy" or a "hero."
You know how to properly negotiate a Circle.
You knew that the last question had to do with driving.
You know that "Acme" is an actual store, not just a Warner Bros creation.
You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it -- like, try ...Mexico, ...York, ...Hampshire (doesn't work, does it?).
You only go to New York City for day trips, and you only call it "The City."
You don't think "What exit" (do you live near?) is very funny.
You know that people from 609 area code are "a little different."
You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
The Jets-Giants game has started fights at your school or local bar.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
You can see the Manhattan skyline from some part of your town.
You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.
You know where every "clip" shown in the Sopranos opening credits is.
You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of Willowbrook Mall.
You've eaten a Boardwalk cheesesteak with vinegar fries.
And Finally.....
You've never pumped your own gas.
