If you consider it a sport to sit in a tree stand all day long with a
bow or a gun just to put food in your freezer.. you might live in Pennsylvania

If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96
nights each year because Bradford is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Pennsylvania

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March,
you might live in Pennsylvania.

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of
the year, you might live in Pennsylvania .

If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work
there, you might live in Pennsylvania cause you're all so damn friendly.

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of
his forehead, cause he wears a hardhat you might live in Pennsylvania.

If you have worn shorts, sunglasses and a parka at the same time,
you might live in Pennsylvania.

If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, or if you
are in church and your priest or minister asks you to pray for the
STEELERS, and wants to get you all home for 1 p.m. kiickoff, you might live in Pennsylvania.

Can I add,
23. Laughed out loud to these.

Wait... Not all Dairy Queens close in the winter?
I just did #2 about thirty minutes ago, and find myself most guilty of #6.

I thought all of these were posted in the brochure they give you when you first enter the state.

Just yesterday I asked the betterhalf how far it was to Blairsville from her house. She said 12 mile. I said, "No, how long does it take you to drive there." Then I got these. I almost died. Guess I am truely a Pennsyltuckian now.

**mtp81** · January 12th, 2008, 07:13 PM

I didn't get any of them, probably because I'm from NJ.

**Mtbkski** · January 12th, 2008, 07:24 PM

Well, all I can say, is that just about everyone of them is true about people in PA.

My aunt from OHIO pointed out the fact that we wear camo to go shopping, or just about anywhere. No one else does this like PA.

are in church and your priest or minister asks you to pray for the
EAGLES, and wants to get you all home for 1 p.m. kiickoff, you might live in Pennsylvania.

Philly doesnt count as PA anymore I heard. I thought it was half under NY and half under NJ jurisdiction now.

That whole camo thing, they do that down in Mississippi too. I went to school down there and was shocked at the sea of camo in Wal-Mart and it wasn't even hunting season.

Where I grew up, there's very little to no camo seen at any time in any store unless it's the cool camo in pink or blue and in style.

**Tsgtbob** · January 12th, 2008, 09:56 PM

Texas does the camo thing too.

Another one, you know where ever4y sheetz's is, with in a 100 mile radius, and EXACTALLY how much gas you need to get from one to another.

You are from Johnstown, or Somerset if you put "just a little" ice in your coffee, and they supoply an ice bucket at the coffee counter.
