LOL bebop and kaika.. too funny.... Couldn't resist so I included PA.

You know you're from Pennsylvania if...
  1. "Hey yunz guyz!" is a greeting.
  2. You get time off of work/school for the entire three-day doe season.
  3. One of the highlights of your life was a field trip to Penn's Cave and Horseshoe curve.
  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 think people from Philly or Pittsburgh talk funny.
  7. You don't understand all the hype about Rolling Rock beer; you've been drinking it for years even though Iron City is better.
  8. You consider an exotic vacation to be a trip to Ocean City, Virginia Beach, or Myrtle Beach.
  9. You are over 35 yrs. old, have never been outside of Pennsylvania and don't see any need to leave.
  10. You own only three spices: "salt, pepper and Heinz ketchup." (or possibly A-1 and Heinz 57 sauces)
  11. You design your children's Halloween costumes to fit over a snow suit.
  12. Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
  13. You find 20 degrees just a little chilly.
  14. You can recite the four seasons: winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction.
  15. Words like "hoagie", "chipped ham", and "pop" actually mean something to you.
  16. You can use the phrase "fire-hall wedding reception" and not even bat an eye.
  17. You think very little of an Amish buggy on the road.
  18. You learned long ago how to "step carefully" around the buggy tie-ups in the supermarket parking lot.
  19. You constantly refer to Pennsylvania as "PA". How many other states do that?
  20. You can go 2 weeks in winter without sunshine and think this is normal.
  21. You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand, Mars, Venus, and Slippery Rock are all PA towns.
  22. You actually got all these jokes and are forwarding them to your PA friends.

LOL, thanks Be!! And now for the Tennesseeans!

You've never met any celebrities....other than Fred Thompson.

"Vacation" means going to the family reunion.

You know all 4 seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer and Christmas.

You laugh when people from anywhere north of TN tries to say or spell "y'all".

It's "Mar-vull" not "Mary-ville" It's "Knox-vull" not "Knox-ville".

A toboggan is a hat, not a sled.

You butter your hot biscuit by cutting it open, putting a slab of butter inside and closing it back up again.

Every town in East Tennesse has a "strip" and they're not particularly safe to be in at night.

Pigeon Forge is not pronounced with a French accent.

Gatlinburg does have an "L" in it and it should be pronounced.

Sales tax is 9.5%.

You shop at Walmart for groceries, not at a grocery store.

You don't drive in Knoxville on game-day. EVER.

You or your friends chew.

You can't remember the last time you saw snow.

You know when Elvis Presley Day is.

heheehe :P I could go on... so I will

You know you are Dutch when...
  • You know how soccer is played. Of coarse, you call this sport voetbal (football). If you're male, you can argue intricate points about its rules. You've heard of American football but don't know how it works. The only sport that can also arouse your passion is speed ice skating.
  • You consider four weeks of vacation a year normal, and in many professions count on a 36-hour working week.
  • Most likely you are not religious, or religious in a very loose way. There are people in your country who have very strict religions. You consider this either quaint or somewhat scary. Except for some Jehovah's witnesses or Mormons knocking on your door, nobody will ask you whether you believe in Heaven.
  • Raw herring is a well-liked delicacy.
  • There are inland flights, but the chance you've ever used one is close to zero. Most likely because they would take about 5 minutes, tops. If you are between the ages of three and eighty, you own at least one bicycle and use it, too.
  • You need to be 18 to get a drivers license. You have to take paid lessons and cannot practice on your own. This makes getting a drivers license very expensive.
  • You find a multi-party system natural, and can hardly imagine another fair way to run a country. You expect your country to be ruled by a coalition of two or three major parties, not by a single party. It would scare you to give one point of view so much power. You think consensus is more important in politics than rhetoric. You expect politicians to be inefficient at times, and sometimes stupid, but you don't expect them to get into politics for self-enrichment.
  • You take it on faith that nobody abroad (except in Belgium) speaks your language, and are amazed if anybody has bothered to learn it.
  • An income tax rate of 60% is high, but you think that people who earn a lot of money should pay high taxes. You don't believe in a trickle-down effect.
  • School is free through high school (at least, it's an option, even if you went to private school); university isn't. You expect the state to help you pay for university, if your parents can't. Schoolmoney per year is about 1500 euro's.
  • The date comes first: 5/5/45. (And you know what happened on that date.)
  • If a politician has been cheating on his wife, you consider this bad form, but no reason for him to resign, unless he's from some conservative religious party.
  • For a politician to show off his wife or kids during an election campaign is ridiculous, since you don't understand what do they have to do with his work. You don't even know wheter most party leaders are married, divorced, single or whatever.
  • Credit cards are accepted in many shops, though, but they are mostly for yuppies and snobs, and you don't have one. You pay cash in shops, or use a debit card.
  • A company can't fire just anybody it wants. For this reason, many companies hire temporary workers through an employment agency.
  • You count on excellent medical treatment. You take it for granted that health care insurance is universal, and even grant illegal immigrants the right to basic medical assistance.
  • You drive on the right side of the road. You stop at red lights even if nobody's around. If you're a pedestrian and cars are stopped at a red light, you will fearlessly cross the street in front of them.
  • You consider the Volkswagen Beetle to be a small to medium sized car.
  • Unemployment benefits are your right, you've paid for them after all, and of course people who don't have any money should get welfare-- should they starve or what? But you also think that there are a lot of people cheating the system.
  • Germany and the Germans are overbearing neighbors. You get along well with them, but Germans are known to be arrogant, which you are always alert to point out them. The war is not forgotten, and most people have elderly family members who were killed, deported or otherwise mistreated by the Nazis. Germany never returned the bicycles it stole, either. Even the most politically correct can make jokes or disparaging remarks about Germans and get away with it. Your greatest dream is beating Germans in the World Cup finals.
  • France is a country that doesn't understand your soft drugs policy. This is arrogant. It is a great place for summer vacation, and you like their cheese and wine.
  • You think it ridiculous that any private person would want to have a firearm. The government should protect you against such people.
  • You think its normal that any woman who wants to can get an abortion, a nd that sex education and contraceptives are freely available. It's nothing out of the ordinary to see naked breasts on TV and in advertisements.
  • Same sex marriages are totally normal. So is a minister taking part in the Gay Parade in Amsterdam, even though he's straight.
  • Your country used to have colonies but you rarely think about this.
  • Changing your name is very difficult. It takes a lot of paperwork, you need to convince the authorities that you have a good reason to change your name, and you need the Queen's permission (yes, really!)
  • You can drink alcohol at age 16. IDs are not often asked for.
  • You were born in a hospital or at home (these are about equally likely) and were delivered by a midwife, general practitioner or gynecologist. Unless she had a cesarean, your mother did not take anesthesia during the delivery. Your father was most likely present at your birth.
  • You put mayonnaise on your french fries.

What makes them funny is that they are so true! Is pot illegal in Cali? And what's with the traffic lights that are specifically for U-turns? Who does that?!?

I agree.. what makes them funny is they are sooo true.. lol JUst noticed a few important ones I forgot to list. I remember when working at my first office job, I was running around looking for gumbands .. Folks at work had no idea what I was talking about. I said, you know those stretchy things. And I'd "red" up my desk at the end of the day. Folks had no idea what I was doing until I explained.. Here are a few I missed on the first llist

Words like: gumband; and pop actually mean something to you
The plural of "you" is "youns."
You know the expression, "Hey naw! Watchya dewin'
You ask the waitress for "dippy ecks" for breakfast.
You do things "wunst," as in "I'll go check in the back room wunst."
You say things like, "Outen the lights," "I'm calling off today, "and THEY want snow wunst."
You pronounce "Suite" as SUIT, not SWEET

What an enjoyable read! Great for when you need a distraction to take your mind off stuff you don't want to think about. Got lots of LOLs and LMBO or two.

Thanks, everyone!
