- You realize thatyour favorite desert is wooder ice. (It comes in
churry, strawburry, and other assawrded flaverz.)
- You find yourself using "Yo" and "Youse guys" when talking long
distance to family members.
- You know how to spell Schuylkill.
- You think $2,500 a year for insurance on a 1977 Toyota Corolla is
a bargain.

have cheese steaks?"
- You can sleep soundly through gunfire and ambulance sirens.
- You visit New York and are impressed by how clean it is.

driver pointing at your lane, wants you to close the gap with the car
in front of you.
- You can't eat french fries without Cheeze Whiz.
- Street people greet you byyour first name.
- You don't think Wawa sounds funny.
- You snub a cheese steak that isn't on an Amoroso roll.
- Your parents, brother, sisters, aunts, and uncles all live on the
same block.
- You know who Jim O'Brien is, and how he died.
- You can't imagine breakfast without scrapple.
- You're still not sure about Jerry Penacolli.

then going to an island. (There's more stuff to do, plus you know
everybody.)
- You know where to find the Rocky statue.

cheese steaks. You only go if you're drunk and it is 3:00 AM.

the guy goes to wash his hands. And you don't really care.
