Alright, another good one that came to me through some long chain of email forwards. I’m always a sucker for things like this for Massachusetts and Boston. Sad, I know.

  • You think if someone is nice to you they either want something or they are from out of town.
  • The public transportation system is known as the “T” and you’d rather drive in bumper to bumper traffic for 4 hours to get to Boston than be caught dead on the “Orange Line”.
  • You could own a small town in Iowa for the cost of your house.
  • There are 24 Dunkin Donuts shops within 15 minutes of your house and that is how you give directions.
  • If you stay on the same road long enough it eventually has three different names.
  • 53 degrees is “on the warm side”.
  • You’ve walked to Brigham’s for an ice cream cone “to go” in the snow.
  • You cringe every time you hear some actor/actress imitate the”Boston Accent” on TV.
  • You call chocolate sprinkles “jimmies”.
  • A water fountain is called a bubbler. Say it ” bubbla”.

    minutes.
  • You know how to pronounce towns like Worcester, Haverhill, Peabody, Scituate, Chatham, and Leominster.

  • You keep an ice scraper in your car all year round.
  • Paranoia sets in when you can’t see a Dunkin Donuts, ATM or CVS.

  • You know what a frappe is (or a Fribble).
  • Saint Patrick’s Day is your second favorite holiday.
  • You drink tonic and would never consider using it on your hair.
  • You never say “Cape Cod” you say “The Cape”.

    dividing line.
