Jersey

49 comments

When I moved to NJ seriously everyone asked my why.
- Me, too. They would say things like "I was born here, so I like it, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to come here."
  
  I say that about Texas all the time.
I lived in NJ for a year. This is a perfectly valid question.
New Jersey has people?
- Yes we have! More over, we are Garden State! We have that … whatyoucallit… garden (I think).
  
  It’s also where the “Jersey Jump” was invented.
  
  It’s the asshole tactic that when the light turns green you gas it as hard as possible and jump the left before oncoming traffic flies into you.
  
  It’s as awful as it is hilarious to watch.
- Surprisingly it has the highest population density of all US states, for its area it has more people than any of the other states.
  
  Are you suggesting that they don't let people leave the place any more?
- And too many, considering it's the most densely populated state.
- I almost touched Messi with my eyes through my binoculars today. Today was a good day to be in Jersey.
  
  I didn't know Messi lived in the Channel Islands
They are the kindest assholes I've ever met.
- Thank you!
- Damn right we are
I refuse to elaborate.
Anybody care to explain this to a completely clueless outsider?
- Fake ID's.
  
  Some states are easier than others. If they don't have a solid reason they likely aren't from new jersey. If they need a fake I'd they likely aren't mature enough to prep a believable backstory. If if is a fake I'd and they can tell a convincing back story theyve earned it.
  
  But like....why even care as the shop owner? They provided an ID so you did your job. The risk of arguing with a babyfaced 25 year old from New Jersey on vacation seems overkill to 'protect' some 20 year old soldier who is home on leave with a fake ID from having a bud lite.
  
  A solid reason for what, exactly? Being from New Jersey? Does "I live there" not qualify as a reason?
  
  OK, thanks. TIL.
Why leave paradise?
Hope they get well soon
Who/what are the exceptions?
- the situation for sure
  
  Probably depends on the implication
- Your mom
"I had to get the fuck outta Jersey!"
Fair 😂
They came at all?
