I curse... a lot. I say "yo", and I say it often. I never had school on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. I sure as hell don't pump my own gas. I know what real pizza tastes like, and I know that a bagel is much more than a fu**in' roll with a hole in the middle. I judge people by what exit they get off the parkway. I can navigate a circle--with attitude. All good nights must end at a diner--preferably with cheese fries. It's a hoagie not a sub or, worse yet, a hero, and I wash it down with soda, not pop. Two words... "mother f*cker." I don't go to the beach, I go down the shore. And boardwalk brawls are just a part of the atmosphere. Yes, I drink cawfee. I know that 65mph really means 80. I've always lived within 10 minutes of a mall. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn AND the finger. And they expect it. I am from New Jersey, and damn proud of it.

I guess I'll be the one to say... GOOD FOR YOU! (I hail from eastern PA)

Huh? That's common, just about everywhere you go. I drove from NJ to Texas, and everywhere in between went at least 80 on the highway.

It must be human nature, because it was that way in Germany, too, where there wasn't any speed limit. 80 mph is probably the average speed where people find it "comfortable" to drive on the highway.

It bothers me that some people think its humorous to make fun of people from new jersey because if its done right, its downright hysterical. :p

Seriously tho, there are excellent people in NJ, even if most of them are in the witness protection program.

Most of the "New Jersey" reputation is about North Jersey, which is a total dump. It's a bunch of guido italians running around pretending they're mobsters. Total garbage up there.

South Jersey near Philly is much, much nicer.

NO YOU FVCKING DON'T. NJ drivers are the biggest bunch of fvcking pussies I've ever seen in my life. People here drive so slow it drive me nuts everytime I go on the road.
