- You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were ......seven!
- You've eaten at a diner...when you were drunk...at 3 am.
- You remember that the "Two Guys" were from Harrison. (depends on age)
- You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
- You know what a "jug handle" is.
- You know that the state isn't all farmland.
- You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey - there's "The Shore," and you know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway" not "The Garden State Highway."

- You knew that the last question had to do with driving.
- You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try...Mexico....York ...Hampshire -doesn't work, does it?).
