YOU'RE FROM NEW YORK WHEN...

1. YOU'RE 35 YEARS OLD AND DON'T HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE.

2. YOU GET READY TO ORDER DINNER EVERY NIGHT AND MUST CHOOSE FROM
THE MAJOR FOOD GROUPS WHICH A CHINESE, ITALIAN, MEXICAN, OR

INDIAN.

3. YOU RIDE IN A SUBWAY CAR WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING JUST BECAUSE

THERE ARE SEATS AVAILABLE.

4. YOU TAKE THE TRAIN HOME AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ON THE
PLATFORM THE DOORS WILL OPEN THAT WILL LEAVE YOU RIGHT IN FRONT
OF
THE STAIRWAY EXIT.

5.YOU KNOW WHAT A "REGULAR" COFFEE IS.

6. IT'S NOT 'MANHATTAN'; IT'S "THE CITY".

7.THERE IS NO NORTH AND SOUTH. IT'S "UPTOWN" OR "DOWNTOWN." IF
YOU'RE
REALLY FROM NEW YORK YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONCEPT OF WHERE
NORTH AND SOUTH ARE.... (AND EAST OR WEST IS "CROSSTOWN"!)

8.YOU CROSS THE STREET ANYWHERE BUT ON THE CORNERS AND YOU YELL AT
CARS FOR NOT RESPECTING YOUR RIGHT TO DO IT.

9.YOU MOVE 3,000 MILES AWAY, SPEND 10 YEARS LEARNING THE LOCAL
LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE STILL KNOW YOU'RE FROM NY THE MINUTE YOU
OPEN YOUR MOUTH

10.YOU RETURN AFTER 10 YEARS AND THE FIRST FOOD YOU WANT IS A "REAL"
PIZZA.

11. YOU'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN GOING TO TIMES SQUARE ON

NEW YEAR'S EVE.

12. YOUR INTERNAL CLOCK IS PERMANENTLY SET TO KNOW WHEN ALTERNATE
SIDE OFTHE STREET PARKING REGULATIONS ARE IN EFFECT.

13. KNOW WHAT A BODEGA IS.

14. SOMEONE BUMPS INTO YOU, AND YOU CHECK FOR YOUR WALLET.

15. YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE THE LADY WALKING DOWN THE ROAD HAVING A
PERFECTLY NORMAL CONVERSATION WITH HERSELF.

16. YOU CRINGE AT HEARING PEOPLE PRONOUNCE HOUSTON ST. LIKE THE CITY

IN TEXAS.

17. THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT IS A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM, NOT AN HONOR.

18. YOU CAN NAP ON THE SUBWAY AND NEVER MISS YOUR STOP.

19. THE DELI GUY GIVES YOU A STRAW WITH ANY BEVERAGE YOU BUY, EVEN
IF
IT'S A BEER.

THAT'S NEW YORK, BABY!

YA GOTTA LOVE IT.

Oh, come on... slim to none of our OT humor is original (well,
Ranger's is original), but they're humorous all the same.

He never claimed to have written that. And most people recognize it as
one of those oft circulated bits of humor. So what is the problem?

As soon as you start talking, people around you say, "if it is so
great there, why the hell did you come here?"

Is that on the list, bob?

That also describes many people driving in California. They're insured
by Addias. Hit and run.
