of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Pennsylvania.
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.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might
live in Pennsylvania.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year,
you might live in Pennsylvania.
If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there,you
might live in Pennsylvania.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his
forehead, you might live in Pennsylvania.
If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Pennsylvania.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in
Pennsylvania.
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a
wrong number, you might live in Pennsylvania.
