A great post, Jim -- I got a good half hour's worth of entertainment
from it with my kids.  However, for the record, here are a few 
additions and changes for your consideration.

      You know you're from Pennsylvania if...

You know the location of the following towns, know someone from them,
	and have spent time there:  Barnsboro, Coalport, Puzzletown, Nanty
	Glo, Beaverdale, Davidsville, Bird-in-Hand, Paradise, Intercourse, 
	BLUE BALL, AMITY, and MT. JOY.

You have taken deliberate field trips to Old Bedford Village, Ft.
	Ligonier, and FT. NECESSITY.

You feel the only good bands out there are Donny Iris, Joe Grushecky  and
	the Iron City House Rockers, The Clarks, and FRANKIE YANKOVIC.

You don't understand what all the hype is about for Rolling Rock.  You've
	been drinking it for years.  YEAH, BUT MY FAVORITES (IN ORDER) WERE
	DUQUESNE, IRON CITY, FT. PITT, and TUBE CITY.

Words like:  gumband, buggy, hoagie, chip-chop, jumbo, pop,
	HICKEY, and GREASY actually mean something to you.

YOU ARE IN A MOTEL AND YOU CALL THE FRONT DESK TO SAY "I GOTTA LEAK IN
	MY SINK" AND THE VOICE AT THE OTHER END SAYS "GO AHEAD!"

You actually get these jokes and forward them to all your Penna.  friends.
