You Know you're from New Jersey (OT)

[Guest guest]

Sue: Having been raised on Long Island and visited my father from time

to time in New Jersey, I had to thank you for the giggle. Just to let

you know though:

1. People from Long Island are quite aware of Great Adventure and go out

of our way not to refer to it

as Six Flags.

2. Being drunk and eating at a diner at 3 am drunk is not exclusive to

New Jersey. Been there and done that, but it's not truly an experience

until you order french fries with brown gravy with a diet Coke. That's

the law.

3. The " Shore " thing cracks up New Yorker's. Yet we flock to the " Jersey

Shore " every year. Not me

personally, as I don't like beaches, shores or anything that has to

do with sand.

4. I beg to differ on the fact that people in New Jersey know how to

negotiate a circle. I've been there

and have been frightened by what I've seen of people with New

Jersey plates negotiating circles. It's

a rather big joke in New York.

5. People from Long Island also refer our day trips as going to " The

City " too.

6. If anyone were to ever put mayo on a corned beef sandwich or swiss

cheese on a philly cheesestake

I do believe the laws in this state consider that justifiable

homicide, or at least a darn good beating.

However, it may go well on the blood sausage thing.

7. I still think " What exit " is hysterical in regards to New Jersey.

It's so true. We see Jersey plates and

we pull over.

8. In regards to the one kid named Tony in your class every year, try

living in Massapequa where it's

nickname is " Matza-Pizza " . Always at least three to a class with

at least two Greensteins and

Cohen's that are not related at all.

9. I remember Korvette's, Rickles, Bambugers and Orbach's. Brings back

a lot of memories. Even

remember the song for Rickles too. God I'm old. LOL

10. Hey, I'm an " Island Girl " will never pump my own gas. Don't have to

go to New Jersey to play

Princess.

11. Have to say, been to New Jersey enough to recognize most of the

locations for the Sopranos too.

Pretty amusing.

Just thought I'd throw in my .02 cents

Regina: the people who live on the Island have migrated from Jersey. Problem

solved.

And it's not Long Island, it's Lon-gIsland or just " the Island. "

in Soprano-land

There you go. Knew there had to be a reason why it was getting so

crowded here.
