JOKES: Welcome to Pennsylvania, where deer do not fear your vehicle.

We’ve been looking online for some jokes about rural living in this part of the world. We found a meme on social media that lists quite a few. It’s a page called Meanwhile in Pennsylvania.

Here are some more: “Taxes will arrive before the road repairs. One trip may include potholes, fog and a tractor.”

“Turnpike tolls may cause sudden personality changes.” Depending on what kind of vehicle you are driving and how long you will be on the turnpike, tolls might range from $16.60 with a personal vehicle to $892.76 for a seven-axle vehicle. Yes, we can see why that might cause personality changes.

“Spring is temporary and not legally binding. Locals will ask where you stand on Sheetz or Wawa.” We don’t have Wawa here, but in the southern part of the state, this is a rivalry approaching Steelers or Bills fans in Bradford.

“Shortcut may mean mountain, gravel and no signal.” Well, where we live, that’s nearly a daily occurrence.

And here’s the last one — “Complaining about Pennsylvania is reserved for residents only.”

Folks from Philly and Pittsburgh have those funny ways of speaking that identify them to the rest of us, too. “Wooder” is water, the football team is the “Ig-gles,” and the word “jawn” can mean whatever in Philadelphia.

In Pittsburgh, they speak Yinzer style. Iron City becomes “Arn City,” downtown becomes “dahntahn,” and the football team is the “Stillers.”

There’s lots of other terms from the Yinzer lexicon that have become Pennsylvania staples — “burm” is the side of the road, “doohickey” is what you need it to be, “druthers” is a preference, “gutchies” are underpants, and a person’s backside is their “dupa.”

And don’t forget, “Jeet?” is a simple question: Did you eat?
