COLD SPOT: More than once over the past few
years, we have printed lists which tell you “”you might live in
Pennsylvania, if …””

[neWLine]

Now, we’ve received a variation on that theme – a
similar list but this one supposedly put together by comedian Jeff
Foxworthy, and with a distinct reference to Bradford.

[neWLine]

We’ve long ago dismissed any Internet fodder as being totally
legit but, still, we thought we’d pass this along with some other
eternally amusing “”you might be a Pennsylvanian, if
…””[neWLine]

Let’s start with the one about Bradford:[neWLine]

“”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.””[neWLine]

And some others …[neWLine]

“”If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don’t
work there, you might live in Pennsylvania. ‘Cause you’re all so
friendly.[neWLine]

“”If you have worn shorts, sunglasses and a parka at the same
time, you might live in Pennsylvania.[neWLine]

“”If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you
might live in Pennsylvania.””[neWLine]

Here’s some other ways to know you’re a true Pennsylvanian
-[neWLine]

1. “”Vacation”” means going up north past I-80 for the
weekend. (Or, for us, south of I-80).

2. You measure distance in hours.

filled with snow.ðððð[neWLine]
