now i know canada is colder, but if you are in Pennsylvania then these are funny, and btw we got the coolest town names
YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM PENNSYLVANIA WHEN........
1."Hey you guys" is your standard greeting, and it's 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 Drake's Well.
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 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.
7. You own only three spices "salt, pepper and Heinz "ketchup".
8. You design your children's Halloween costumes to fit over a snowsuit.
9. Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with
snow.
10. You find 20 degrees just a little chilly.
11 You can recite the four seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and
construction.
12. Words like "hoagie", "crick", "chipped ham", and "pop" actually mean
something to you.
13. You can use the phrase "fire hall wedding reception" and not even bat an eye.
14. You think very little of an Amish buggy on the road.
15. You learned long ago how to "step carefully" around the buggy tie ups in the supermarket parking lot.
16. You constantly refer to Pennsylvania as "PA" (pronounced Pee-ay). How many other states do that?
17. You can go 2 weeks in winter without sunshine and think this is normal.
18. You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Virginville,
Paradise, Mars, and Slippery Rock are PA towns.
19. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the
highway.
20. You measure distance in hours.
21. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
22. You often switch from "Heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
23. You use a down comforter in the summer.
24. Your grandparents drive at 65mph through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.
25. You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
26. You install security lights on your house and garage and then leave
both unlocked.
27. You think of the major food groups as deer meat, fish, and berries.
28. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend or wife knows
how to use them.
29. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the Sheetz
mini-mart at any given time.
30. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
31. It takes you 3 hours to go to the store for one item, even when you're
in a rush, because you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.
32. You can actually eat cold pizza (even for breakfast) and know others who do the same. Those from NY find this "barbaric."
33. You know what Birch Beer is.
34. At least 5 people on your block have electric "candles" in all or most
of their windows all year long.
35. You know what a "State Store" is, and your out of state friend find it
incredulous that you can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.
36. You know several places to purchase or that serve Scrapple, Summer
Sausage (Lebanon Bologna), and Hot Bacon Dressing.
37. Top 3 Pennsylvania Sports are: BOWLING, DARTS and POOL.
38. You can't go to a Pennsylvania wedding without hearing the "Chicken
Dance" and at least 5 other Polkas.
39. Live for summer, when street fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake
season.
40. You know what REAL potpie is.
41. You ask the waitress for "dippy eggs" for breakfast.
42. Your turkey has "stuffing," and most certainly not "dressing."
43. You consider Erie to be "out west," and you know the fastest way to
Philly is the Turnpike.
44. You call barbecue "sloppy joes."
45. When it snows, they put cinders on the roads instead of sand.
46. Know that Yuengling is pronounced "Ying-ling," and believe that it
really is a premium beer (which comes from growing up on Schlitz and
IronCity).
47.. You actually understand these jokes and send them on to your friends in
PA too.
okay so it was a forward, but its still funneh _________________ |

Sounds like my kind of place.
