You know you're from......

You know you're from Jersey when...
...knowing every exit on the NJ Turnpike and having a friend or aquaintence somewhere off of most exits.
...middle fingers stick up out of sunroofs when getting cut off by the major fuck wad in front of you who is in a great rush to get nowhere.
...getting "brake checked" when tailgating because for some reason we can't help but crawl up the asses of other vehicles.
...when you leave the state and no one knows what a hard roll is (we were just discussing this over dinner last night)
...you visit another state and you can't buy beer in a liquor store
...you visit another state and half to pump your own gas

"Whack" the double post!

you're from Dallas:
You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car . . .

You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water . . .

You can say 110 degrees without fainting . . .

You eat hot chili to cool your mouth off . . .

You can make sun tea instantly . . .

You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron . . .

You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance . . .

Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one . . .

It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is moving on the streets . . .

You actually burn your hand opening the car door . . .

Sunscreen is sold year round, kept at the front of the checkout counter . . .

A formula less than 30 SPF is a joke and you only wear that to go to the corner store . . .

Hot air balloons can't go (at all) . . .

No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car . . .

Your biggest bicycle wreck fear, "what if I get knocked out and lay on the pavement and cook to death"?

You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

You notice your radiator is overheating, before you start your car.

The thermometer in the lid of your Bar-B-Que Grill shows 150 degrees F, before you light it.

You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink.

You hear the weather forecast for 105 degrees without flinching.

You run the house a/c in the middle of winter, so you can use your fireplace.

Sunscreen with less than 50 SPF is called 'hand cream.'

You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box.

Some fools market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. Worse... a lot of fools actually try to jog!!

When fabric is considered the deluxe interior, rather than stick-to-your-seat leather.

You see two trees fighting over a dog.

It's so fucking HOT!

..maryland when..

every kitchen has at least one can of old bay.

you got your first fishing rod or lacrosse stick before you were six years old.

one hour is an easy commute to work.

every time the "star spangled banner" plays, everyone shouts "OH!" when they say "oh say does that star spangled..."

m r ducks makes perfect sense.
