    Delaware

    You know where, what and when the Hummers Parade is held.

    "Vacation" means going to Rehoboth or Cape "Cantaloupe" Henlopen.

    You know the best subs come from Capriotti's.

    You used to play in the wooder in the crick, and caught fraugs.

    Your school classes were canceled because of 3 snowflakes.

    The whole state panics and uses all of their road salt for those 3 snowflakes.

    You love the beach but hate the tourists.

    You know about punkin-chunkin and you have your favorite chunker.

    You know someone who went to school with one of the Capano's.

    You've eaten scrapple sandwiches.

    You can identify all the major types of manure by smell (especially chicken!)

    If it takes more than an hour to drive to, you're not going.

    You know what a "slippery" dumpling is.

    You know who YouDee is.

    Somebody in your family has worked for the DuPont Company.

    You think the "Apple Scrapple Festival" is perfectly normal, except for all those granola types running in the 5K race.

    You think, maybe, just maybe, you might get a White Christmas. Then it rains.

    The highest point in the state is a rise on the golf course.

    The state has one hill. You've been sledding on it.

    You remember WAMS and WCAU (BARSKY in the morning!).

    You know NewERK is in New Jersey, but NewARK is in Delaware.

    You know how to carefully pronounce the name Foulk Road.

    You talk of Northern Delaware and the entire Eastern Seaboard as "above the canal."

    You know if another Delawarean is from southern, middle or northern Delaware as soon as they open their mouth.

    You know the name of every street in Delaware, but have no idea what the route number is.

    When you want to go out for a nice dinner, you have to switch states.

    You can remember when Maryland Bank (MBNA) swallowed up Ogletown and Putt-Putt.

    Everywhere you go, you always run into someone you know or went to school with.

    You know what Newark Night and First Night are.

    You know exactly which roads to avoid due to the CONSTANT road construction.

    You love Dollie's salt water taffy and Grotto's Pizza. You know where all of the late-night 24-hour rest stops and restaurants are.

    You can remember when Christiana Hospital was a field with cows.

    You remember when Christiana Mall had a Galaxy arcade.

    When you go out of state to shop or eat, you are always surprised about the tax

    You know the differences in housing in Elsmere, Pike Creek, and Greenville.

    You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Delaware.

    The ones for Texas were shitty.. :rolleyes:
    You Know You're From Alabama When...
    You have a party or a barbeque whenever Alabama plays Auburn in football.

    You go to Gulf Shores every summer.

    You call the Atlanta Braves baseball team "us" like they're actually from Alabama.

    You would much rather visit Florida than California.

    You don't "take", you "carry" or "tote"... as in "You want me to carry you down to the 7-11?"

    A soft drink isn't soda, cola, or pop, it's Coke.

    You call it a "buggy" and not a shopping cart.

    You've said "fixin' to," "might could," or "usetacould" during the last week.

    Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

    You know the meaning of the phrase "Fobbed again."

    You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Opelika, Bayou La Batre, and Oneonta.

    The Talladega 500 is the biggest sporting event of any sort during the entire year.

    You know exactly what chitlins and mountain oysters are, and you know someone who eats them anyway.

    You think that people who complain about the humidity in other states are sissies.

    You aren't surprised to find rental movies, groceries, ammunition and bait all in the same store.

    You've missed a wedding or a funeral to go to a football game.

    Asian food is always "CHINESE" regardless of the fact that it may actually be Korean or Japanese or Thai

    You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Alabama.


    You Know You're From Houston When...
    You're on your way to work one February morning and suddenly you're trapped in a traffic jam caused by a chuck wagon and fifty horses -- with riders -- and you look around to see that everybody in the cars around you is wearing a cowboy hat.

    The "farm-to-market" roads have seven lanes.

    If you want to be a snob about your grocery shopping, you can go to a Randall's Flagship, a Kroger Signature, a Rice Epicurean, or soon, an HEB Central Market to buy bread and milk (but you have to dress up!)

    You have to turn on the air conditioning in January, two days after a low of 29 degrees.

    You have a Roach Story: You opened your flatware drawer to find a roach the size of the Taco Bell chihuahua. He stood up and looked you in the eye. You closed the drawer, bought new flatware -- and stored it in the oven.

    When you see your neighbor dancing around the front yard, you don't think he's won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes; you know he just stepped in a fire ant bed.

    The name "Bud Adams" makes people snarl, and "Bum Phillips" doesn't mean a bad screwdriver.

    "Luv ya Blue" still makes you smile, even if you did run the Oilers out of town.

    You know that the Astrodome will always be the Eighth Wonder of the World.

    You come to work in short-sleeves and walk out at noon to find that a "blue-tailed norther" has blown through, and the temperature has dropped 40 degrees in a matter of minutes.

    Your neighbor's Christmas yard decorations look like a re-creation of the gunfight at the OK Corral, complete with a ten-foot tree decorated with boots and cowboy hats, and a Santa Claus who looks a lot like Wyatt Earp.

    You wander into a section of town where you can't read the street signs because they're written in Asian characters instead of English, but you don't care because you can get great prices on fake designer merchandise there.

    You go to an art festival on Westheimer and you're almost run down by two cross-dressers on roller blades, holding hands.

    The "Killer Bees" are not stinging insects.

    You hear everything but English spoken when you go to the Galleria to window-shop.

    You know that "Dad gummit" has nothing to do with your father's failure to practice good dental hygiene.

    You think "Y'all" is perfectly good usage if you're referring to more than one person.

    For a Chili Cookoff, you'll use anything from armadillo to frog's legs, but you know that the only GOOD chili is made with chopped -- not ground -- beef, and it has NO beans and NO tomatoes.

    Spring is not the season, Katy is not the lady, and 1960 is not the year.

    Society matrons of "a certain age" still sport big hair, and faces that have gone east, west, and north rather than south.

    You can leave your house, head out of town, and an hour later you still haven't left the city limits. (During rush hour, you haven't left your neighborhood.)

    You've never seen I-45 in any condition other than under-construction -- and you've lived here for 20-30 years.

    If the humidity is below 90 percent, it's a good hair day.

    You know that "Clutch City" has nothing to do with automobile transmissions.

    "The Dream" is not a fantasy.

    The only real Mexican food is Tex-Mex.

    A 747 with the Space Shuttle riding piggyback has actually flown low, right overhead, and nobody paid any attention to it.

    You know that while saving you money, "Mattress Mac" has amassed more than the U.S. Treasury has.

    You're happy to have beaten Los Angeles out of a football team, but you'd rather that they keep the title of "Smog Capital."

    You see nothing unusual about an 80-something former sheriff's deputy who wears a white pompadour toupee and blue sunglasses, mispronounces names, allows televising of his frequent plastic surgeries, seems unnaturally obsessed with slime in the ice machine, and screams, "MAR-VIN ZIND-ler, EYE-witness news" into a television camera every night.

    You know your from Pennsylvania...

    You know you're from Pennsylvania if...
    You only own three spices: salt, pepper, ketchup.

    You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

    You have more miles on your snowblower than your car.

    You have 10 favorite recipes for venison.

    You have an uncontrollable urge to buy bread and milk when you hear the word "snow."

    Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

    You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie.

    You owe more money on your snowmobile or John Deere than your car.

    The first day of "Buck Season" and "Doe Season" is a school holiday.

    Your snowblower gets stuck on your roof.

    The local paper covers National and International headlines on 1/4 page but requires six pages for sports.

    School closings due to snow take the radio stations a half an hour to finish, because just about every town has its own school district.

    When someone says 1972, you think "Agnes," and when someone says 1979, you think "TMI."

    You call sloppy joes "barbecue."

    When it snows, they put cinders on the roads instead of sand.

    You think the start of deer hunting is a National Holiday.

    You pronounce "Suite" as SUIT, not SWEET. As in Living Room Suite.

    You know which leaves make good toilet paper.

    You only buy your beer and soda by the case.

    You think the roads in any other state are smooth.

    You find -20F "a little" chilly.

    You ask the waitress for "dippy eggs" for breakfast.

    The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer.

    You know the four seasons: Winter, Still Winter, Almost Winter, and Construction.

    There are still places you can still stop along the road to buy fruits, vegetables, or crafts on the "honor system."

    The municipality buys a Zamboni before a school bus.

    You never see any Confederate Flags, except on the Gettysburg Battlefield.

    You prefer Hershey's Chocolate to Godiva.

    You consider Pittsburgh to be "out west," and you know the fastest way to Philly is the Turnpike.

    You can give directions to Intercourse with a straight face.
