Some Jersey Humor

[AuraEdge]

A Real Jerseyan:

Says "I'm from Jersey."

Hates New Jerseyans who are New York wannabes. Move, already!

Says "I'm going (or I live) down the Shore."

Can name all the bridges across the Hudson and the Delaware.

Knows what real tomatoes taste like.

Would never say, "I love New York!" (well, not enough to move there.)

Knows who The Boss is.

Knows where to park free at Devils and Nets games.

Never makes excuses for living here.

Knows where High Point is.

I'm not actually FROM New Jersey, but all this stuff is true.

BTW, only New Yorkers are treated with contempt. A transplant from anywhere else is just fine.
