YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM BEAUTIFULL LANCASTER COUNTY WHEN................
Your idea of Chicken Pot Pie has nothing to do with a pie and you
can't
figure out why people might think it would.
Your driving lessons involved learning to avoid horse droppings.
You know how to cook, but not without butter.
You know what a Fire Hall Wedding is.
You've been to a Chicken and Waffle Dinner.
You spend at least 30 minutes every summer day complaining about
Maryland
drivers.
You don't understand why people would ever want to see the Amish.
The local Post Office used to be a single-family home and they close
between
1 and 2 for lunch.
You do not giggle when you see the following signs:
-- Lititz
-- Intercourse
-- Blue Ball
-- Bird-in-Hand
-- Mount Joy
You've heard of 7-11 but you've never seen one.
You cannot buy beer and wine from the same store.
Park City has nothing to do with skiing for you.
Agnes 1972 means something to you and you can tell stories about it.
You pronounce Lancaster in "Burt Lancaster" differently from Lancaster
in
"Lancaster, PA".
And you giggle at people who say "Aee-mish".
Your iced tea is sweeter than Pepsi.
You know someone who repairs gasoline-powered lawn mowers, but is
forbidden
to own one.
You think the first day of deer hunting, Fasnacht Day and Groundhog
Day are
national holidays.
You know that eggs come in either white or brown - and you have a
preference
You know who James Buchanan was.
You don't have to be told what Shoo-Fly Pie is.
You makeout the lights at the end of the day.
You go to the store when the milk is "all".
You think orange traffic cones are the natural foliage surrounding
Route 30.
You know what Donkey baseball is.
You know what a liquid pit is.
At times, you utter things like, "Throw the cow over the fence some hay."
You remember when Park City Mall had a flea market in the basement. Or
worse
yet, a skating rink.
You own quilts and know their names.
You know what a Turkey Hill is, and you've ditched school to hang out
there.
You've corrected all the errors while watching Witness.
Rush hour is on Saturday afternoon -- in the summer.
You reocognize "Twin Kiss" and "Freez and Frizz," knowing that Dairy
Queen s
a pale imitation.
Dutch Wonderland is neither Dutch nor much of a Wonderland.
WGAL is the source of all local celebrities and they create quite a
stir
when they shop in the supermarket.
You go out of state just to drive on smooth roads.
You've ordered "dippy eggs" for breakfast.
The Green Dragon ain't no Chinese restaurant.
Bacon drippings are an ingredient for making salad dressing.
You think tourist attractions consist of a pretzel factory, a
chocolate
factory and an Amish family out for a drive.
You know the only way to make good fastnachts is to cook them in LARD.
You live within two miles of a plant that makes mobile homes, potato chips, corn
chips,
pretzels, candy or ice cream or that packages turkeys, beans or
bologna.
You can stop along the road to buy fruit, vegetables or crafts on the
"honor
system."
YOUR turkey has "filling," not "stuffing" and most certainly NOT
"dressing."
You know that chicken corn soup from a firehouse is the most perfect
food on
earth.
You've heard of distelfinks and hex signs.
You never see any Confederate flags except on the Gettysburg
battlefield.
You consider Pittsburgh to be "out west," and you know the fastest way
to
Philly is the Turnpike.
When it snows, they put cinders on the roads instead of sand.
Words like: gumband, buggie, hoagie, chipped beef, scrapple, actually
mean
something to you.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from
Pennsylvania!
thanks sharon ! :)
