You Know You're from Pennsylvania When ...

You Know You're from Pennsylvania When ...
The first day of Buck season and the first day of Doe season are school holidays.
You own only three spices "salt, pepper and Heinz ketchup".
Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
Words like "hoagie", "crick", "chipped ham", and "pop" actually mean something to you.
You can use the phrase "fire hall wedding reception" and not even bat an eye.
You constantly refer to Pennsylvania as "PA" (pronounced Pee-ay). How many other states do that?
You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Moon, Virginville, Paradise, Mars, and Slippery Rock are PA towns.
Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
You measure distance in hours.
You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
You often switch from "Heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend or wife knows how to use them.
You can actually eat cold pizza (even for breakfast) and know others who do the same. (Those from NY find this "barbaric".)
You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know that it comes in several colors: Red, White, Brown, Gold.
At least 5 people on your block have electric "candles" in all or most of their windows all year long.
You know what a "State Store" is, and your out of state friends find it incredulous that you can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.
You know several places to purchase or that serve Scrapple, Summer Sausage (Lebanon Bologna), and Hot Bacon Dressing.
You can't go to a Pennsylvania wedding without hearing the "Chicken Dance" and at least 5 Polkas.
You live for summer, when street fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake season.
You ask the waitress for "dippy eggs" for breakfast.
Your turkey has "filling," not "stuffing," and most certainly, NOT "dressing."

Sorry couldnt help myself... 8)

Narrowing it down to the coal region (I was born and raised and will die here,lol)


Top 20 Signs You're From the Coal Region
20. Your grandmother, of any nationality, wears a babushka.
19. You think only God has the proper resume to take over after Joe Paterno leaves Penn State.
18. To the rest of the world, Hooters is a restaurant chain. To you it's a band from Philadelphia.
17. You're still not over the break up of Journey.
16. Plaid gives you Catholic school flash backs.
15. You can easily spell and pronounce last names like Wojciechowski and Ricigliano.
14. You've eaten coal candy.
13. You don't think a stripping hole is an adult club.
12. While the rest of the country is celebrating Fat Tuesday, you're celebrating donut day.
11. You think A-Treat soda is a national brand.
10. You consider a marriage between a person from St. John's and St.Pat's Catholic Churches a mixed marriage.
9. You still have halupkies on New Years day.
8. You want to scream every time a newscaster tries to pronounce Schuylkill.
7. You're shocked to find out no one in your office knows what Yuengling beer is.
6. People wonder why you'd bet dollars to donuts on anything.
5. No matter where you live, you still think it's warmer than Frackville.
4. You're the only person on your street that "straightens the house" before guests come over.
3. You can dodge potholes at 55 m. p. h.
2. You get misty-eyed when you see Mrs. T's pierogies in the frozen food aisle.

And the number one sign you're from the coal region:
1. You can polka with the best of them!
