Pennsylvania Stereotypes

[BarnesX.308]

Got this emailed to me a couple of years ago -

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM PENNSYLVANIA WHEN........
The first day of Buck season and the first day of
Doe season are school holidays.

You own only three spices "salt, pepper and Heinz ketchup".

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

Words like "hoagie", "crick", "chipped ham", and
"pop" actually mean something to you.

You can use the phrase "fire hall wedding reception"
and not even bat an eye.

You constantly refer to Pennsylvania as "PA"
(pronounced Pee-ay).
How many other states do that?

You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Climax,
Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Moon, Virginville, Paradise, Mars,
Middlesex, and Slippery Rock are PA towns.

Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to
pass a tractor on the highway.

You measure distance in hours.

You know several people who have hit deer more than
once.

You often switch from "Heat" to "A/C" in the same
day.

You carry jumper cables in your car and your
girlfriend or wife knows how to use them.

You can actually eat cold pizza (even for breakfast)
and know others who do the same.
(Those from NY find this "barbaric".)

You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know
that it comes in several colors: Red, White, Brown, Gold.

At least 5 people on your block have electric
"candles" in all or most of their windows all year long.

You know what a "State Store" is, and your out of
state friends find it incredulous that you
can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.

You know several places to purchase or that serve
Scrapple, Summer Sausage (Lebanon Bologna),
and Hot Bacon Dressing.

You can't go to a Pennsylvania wedding without
hearing the "Chicken Dance" and at least 5 Polkas.

You live for summer, when street fairs signal the
beginning of funnel cake season.

You ask the waitress for "dippy eggs" for breakfast.
Your turkey has "filling," not "stuffing,"
and most certainly, NOT "dressing."

All most all of them fit me! I did the above just yesterday!

Dippy eggs rule !!!!

But the two all time arguments between us Pa residents has to be.

1) is it Pop or Soda ? (it's soda by the way)

and

2) Are they woopie pies or gobs ? (the answer to this one is woopie pie)

[KIDD642]

I am from western PA and they call it POP but now that I live in eastern pa I play the safe card and call it "soda pop"[8D] But I call the other a WOOPIE pie. not a gob although gobs are good with the green filling.

[cardeer]

Thats right,Scapple and blood pudding rule

[WVBowhunter10]

I am origanally from PA and I can attest to most of those stereotypes. I am living WV now so I am learning a whole new set of stereotypes, not that they are true(most of them)

[sam 444]

[TheBassMan]

In Misouri we called it Pop.....now that i live in eastern pa..its soda
