You know you're for Mass when.......

A little humor......

You know you're from Massachusetts when...


The person driving in front of you is going 70 mph and you are cursing
him for going too slow.

When ordering a tonic, you mean a Coke...not quinine water.

You actually enjoy driving around rotaries.

You almost feel disappointed when someone doesn't flip you the bird when
you cut them off or steal their parking space.

You know how to pronounce the names of towns like Worcester, Billerica,
Haverhill, Barre and Cotuit.

You know that there are two Bulger brothers, and that they're both
crooks.

You know what they sell at a packie.

You know at least one bar where you can get something to drink after
last call.

Evacuation Day is a recognized holiday.

You think the rest of the country owes you for Thanksgiving and
Independence Day.

You have n ever been to Cheers.

When the words 'WICKED' and 'GOOD' go together.

You knew that there was no chance in hell that the Pats would move to
Hartford.

The curse of the Bambino is taught in public schools.

You own a "Yankees Suck" shirt or hat.

You think Doug Flutie is the greatest athlete ever.

You remember exactly where you were when the ball rolled through
Buckner's legs.

You pray for the Red Sox to win the World Series not this season, but in
your lifetime.

You know how to make a frappe.

You know that "Big Dig" is also a kind of ice cream you can get at
Brigham's.

You actually know how to merge from 6 lanes of traffic down to one.

You never go to "Cape Cod", you go "down the Cape".

You think that Roger Clemens, Wade Boggs and Derek Jeter are more evil
than Whitey Bulger.

You're aware that there is a town, somewhere in Massachusetts, named
Brimfield where they have the biggest outdoor antique market in the
world.

You can drive to the mountains and the ocean all in one day.

You know that the Mass Pike is some sort of strange weather dividing
line.

You know that P-Town isn't the name of a new rap group.

You do not recognize the letter "R" as a part of the English language.

You have driven to either Rhode Island, New Hampshire or Vermont for a
tattoo.

You've slammed on your brakes to deter a tailgater.

Paranoia sets in if you can't see a Dunkin Donuts, ATM or CVS within
eyeshot at all times.

You keep an ice scraper and can of de-icer on the floor of your
car...year round.

You order iced coffee in January.

You know what candlepin bowling is.

You drive 45 minutes to New Hampshire to save $5 in sales tax.

You've pulled out of a side street and used your car to block oncoming
traffic so you can make a left.

You kn ow what a "regular" coffee is.

I took a vacation over in Ireland some time ago, and learned to drive "stick" over there.
Imagine sitting in the right front seat, the shift is at your left knee, and driving on the left side of the road.
Now imagine approaching a "round-a-bout", and entering from the left.
I had a blast, and had no troubles driving around the town.

I'm more concerned with people driving around here.
It seems like quite a few immigrants are taking driving instructions from companies that teach them just how to pass the driving test. Get these inexperienced drivers on the road / highways afterwards, and it's a horror show!

People's lack of knowledge of rotaries definitely amaze me.

Apparently the current driver instruction manuals are missing the section on "YIELD".
