From Philly?

[PhillyVibeGT]

You Know You're From Philadelphia When... You punctuate every sentence with, "You know" at least twice. You want olive oil, not mayonnaise on your "hoagie". You hate the Redskins. You hate Dallas. You realize that your favorite dessert is "wooder ice". You find yourself using "yo" and "youse guys" when talkinglong-distance to family members. You know how to spell Schuylkill. You pronounce ACME "ACK-A-ME". You think that $2,500 a year for insurance on a 1977 Toyota Corollais a bargain. You find yourself at a nice restaurant thinking "I wonder if theyhave cheese steaks?" You can't eat french fries without Cheese Whiz. You call sprinkles on top of your ice cream cone "jimmies". You don't think Wawa sounds funny. You snub a cheese steak that isn't on an Amoroso roll.block. You know who Jim O'Brien is and how he died. You can't imagine lunch without a Tastycake. You're still not sure about Jerry Penacolli. A vacation at the Jersey shore (pronounced "Down the shore") isbetter than going to an island (there's more stuff to do, plus you knoweverybody). You know where to find the Rocky statue. You know that only tourists go to Geno's, Pat's and Jim's forauthentic cheese steaks. You can make a cheese steak and you've never been taught. You've never been to the Liberty Bell, or the only time you werethere was on a class trip in third grade. You know what and where "Boathouse Row" is. You will buy a pretzel from anyone, anywhere without even thinking ofwhere i t was - or where his hands have been. You can't imagine a breakfast without scrapple. You don't know what a sub is, but you think they are trying todescribe an imitation HOAGIE. You go to The Gallery or South Street in the summer time just tochill. You have the pizza place on speed dial. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends fromPhiladelphia.

I'm a transplant from North / Central Jersey to South Jersey, so I only get about 75% of these.

Normally I think these things are lame, but this one was right on the money so I had to add it to our forum.
