Pennsylvania
--
Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Pennsylvaniania

If your local Dairy Queen is closed
from September through May,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If someone in a Lowes store offers you
assistance and they don't even work there,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the
same time, you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
with someone who dialed a wrong number,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If a vacation means going anywhere south of
Harrisburg for the weekend,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you measure distance in hours,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you know several people who have hit a deer
more than once, you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you have switched from heat to A/C in
the same day and back again, you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow
during a raging blizzard without flinching,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you install security lights on your house and garage,
but leave both doors unlocked,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you carry jumpers in your car and
your wife knows how to use them,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you design your kid's Halloween costume
to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Pennsylvania .

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -
you are going 80 and everybody is passing you,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If driving is better in the winter because
the potholes are filled with snow,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter,
winter, still winter and road construction,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you find 10 degrees a little chilly,
you may live in Pennsylvania .

If you actually understand these jokes, and
forward them to all your Pennsylvania friends and others,
you definitely do live or have lived - in Pennsylvania .

    Yep! I am from Hershey, Pennsylvania. Ahh, not to mention the smell of dark Hershey chocolate when I am walking outside. So not diet-friendly.

    also no mention of the Amish.

    Or the Mennonites, Hershey Park, or "The River"
