So what's a "South Jersey" and why are "exit four people" snobs?
It was something I heard on the Daily Show. I thought it was too funny
because it reminds me of LA's area code prejudice. <g>

So what's a "South Jersey"

"a" South Jersey? Dunno. People who live in South Jersey? Beats the crap
out of me.

and why are "exit four people" snobs?

I can only assume that this is referring to exit four off of the New Jersey
Turnpike. Don't ask me what's down there as I live 2+ hours north. I do
have some friends that live down that way, but I can tell you that it's not
that fantastic of an area. Can't be nicer where I grew up - Upper Saddle
River in northern Bergen County. You can't thrown a stone without hitting a
millionaire.

It was something I heard on the Daily Show. I thought it was too funny
because it reminds me of LA's area code prejudice. <g>

Hmmm, do they have The Daily Show transcripts? Might have to check that out
because I honestly have no idea what they're talking about :)

Well, that's not very nice of them!

That's sound awful risky.

I don't think they do but Comedy Central does rerun the crap out of
things. I'm sure it'll be on. And on. And on.
But it did get me to laughing about the old area code prejudice in LA.
Which used to be so much simpler when the basin was 213 all you had to
look down on was 818 and 714. It's *so much more complicated now what with
213, 323, 310, 562, 626, 714, 818, 909, 661 (and 424 on the way).
(Okay, okay, I was a 562 so I was down with 626 and would have rather have
been a 310 though 909 was getting trendy but at least that put me above
323! And I was *never an 818 so *there!)
((Suddenly I find it very disturbing I know this))

It was terrible, I tell you, terrible! <sob!>

Yes, especially since they'll sue you at the drop of a hat! One thing I
loathe in particular is how they tear down the cute colonials and put up
these monstrosities. You should see the beast being bult next to my
parents' house. Huge three-car garage mini-mansion. Blech :P

Oooh, was this on last night? If so, I'll be able to catch it later today.
Not that I'll still understand what an exit four snob is.

Oh my. I believe the majority of snobville up here is still 201.

(Okay, okay, I was a 562 so I was down with 626 and would have rather have

Squeeze me?

Um....yeah, right <backs away slowly>

Damn, I live in the state and I don't know - Neither did my husband (he's a
Bayonne boy) :)
