My brother (Mike) once ate a worm on a dare. To top that, he ate a live June bug on a dare. He's in his 40's now but I could probably get him to eat a caterpillar if I dared him! A Mike is a real "man's man" - he will do, say and try things that other men wouldn't. It is something to be proud of, to be a "Mike". You probably have some great stories - am I right?

Who me??? I'm an angel . I also like to go for a ride and make a turn (left or right) because it's there. I have to laugh at the people in Pennsylvania. When told I lived and hung out at the Jersey Shore, they ask what street. I have to explain that I'm talking about the Atlantic Coastline, not some town named after a location people go to on vacation. There's a town in Pa. named Jersey Shore.

I've already sold the Brooklyn Bridge to some one in Scranton. Now I'm trying to sell the Pulaski Skyway. Anyone know of any out-of-staters who might be interested in buying it?

They probably wish it was the same

The town is in Central Pa. and I wonder if many of them have seen the Shore.

I checked and they're both about equal distance from Scranton.

The Shore is about a 2 1/2 hour drive so the town's people can make it for real.

Jersey people are the best! And the friendliest!

Some of em are strictly mountain people though and don't do the shore

Blondie621, I couldn't agree with you more.

JoeSo, I don't think they can find their way off the mountain let alone to the top. People in Scranton have a hard time finding their way off their porch.

Lol same with the neighborhoods here in Philly...matter of fact as I tried walking out my door today I saw the usual hordes of people perched on their front step(or stoop as they call it here,fitting)and just staring into space. I often wonder what their idea of having a life is.
