Jeff Foxworthy’s commentary on Pennsylvania:
If you consider it a sport to sit in a tree stand all day long with a bow or a gun just to put food in your freezer, you might live in Pennsylvania
If you’re proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Bradford is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Pennsylvania
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Pennsylvania. (yep, ours is!)
If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don’t work there, you might live in Pennsylvania cause you’re all so damn friendly. (really, we are all friendly? seriously?)
If your dad’s suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, cause he wears a hardhat you might live in Pennsylvania (ha! my dad use to have this…and everyone here has a farmers tan)
If you have worn shorts, sunglasses and a parka at the same time, you might live in Pennsylvania .
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, or if you are in church and your priest or minister asks you to pray for the STEELERS, and wants to get you all home for 1 p.m. kickoff, you might live in Pennsylvania (yep, we got out of church early once for a football game)
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Pennsylvania
