I can't believe none of you lounge idiots have never driven thru New Jersey!!

[LynneSin]

You can't run to the local corner liquor store without paying a damn toll when you're in New Jersey. They have expressways, parkways and toll roads all over the state. Hell the reason I went to maryland beaches was it was such a pain to slow down and toss in change in those polls all the time.

Delaware is hardly the damn toll king. Go to New Jersey, you'll understand the concept of toll hell

:hide:
(for calling everyone lounge idiots)

[northzax]

1. aw, look who's been drinking too much Delaware water...

plus, New Jersey provides a useful service (keeping Giants fans and Eagles fans separated) so we're happy to pay. Delaware is just, well, there.

:)

[LynneSin]

6. We are more than there - we RULE!!!

I love my state

:woohoo:

Damn, I sound like some guy with a small penis trying to justify that really, I am that good!

[northzax]

25. Well, it's cheaper than buying a hummer!

Ahh, delaware...the one original colony with no revolutionary war history...do you think that is because neither side really knew it was there? Or because neither side wanted it? :)

[LynneSin]

44. Who signed the fucking Declaration of Independence first

Hell our guy got there first even while riding horseback and with a raging case of syphilis.

We're #1

[northzax]

45. and thank god for that

if it had been a real state, the Brits might have been concerned enough to take action!

[LynneSin]

48. Don't you live in DC - aren't you like not even a real state

:shrug:

[northzax]

62. So you are saying you are proud

That your elected representatives collude in denying the vote to a majority black city? Typical small stater, always picking on the disadvantaged.

[LostinVA]

47. That's because his horse had an EZPass

[LynneSin]

51. Then why didn't the Pennsylvania guys get there first?

I mean it was in fricking Philadelphia - what the fuck was their hold-up on signing it. At least our dude knew he wanted to sign, syphilis be damned

[LostinVA]

52. The Phillies were playing that day, sis

God, didn't you have history in high school???

[LynneSin]

54. Clearly you didn't

:P

[LostinVA]

56. Come on, you know you laughed at both of those posts

[taterguy]

2. Well, we've never driven through it sober

If you're in New Jersey that's reason enough to drink

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Been there, done that.

Next.

[Parche]

4. New Jersey

I dont have a passport yet, so I cant...........:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:

My aunt lives in NJ!!!!!

[LynneSin]

5. You need a passport to go to New Jersey now

damn, I thought their 22 toll roads were bad enough

[JoePhilly]

7. You are in New Jersey! Which exit?

Old Joke ... sorry.

My sister is in Cinnaminson. Use to go to Avalon, Stone Harbor, Wildwood (drunk teen heaven).

[LynneSin]

8. I'm in Delaware

I wouldn't live in New Jersey if you paid me

:hide:

E A G L E S EAGLES!!!

[lost-in-nj]

14. OK

I understand that you would not live here
and thats ok.... though we are a great state...
BUT I could never understand what the difference is between NJ and PA, DE, NY and CT
ITs just a friggin line on a piece of paper!!!!!!
If you closed your eyes and went over a state line you wouldn't know it when you opened your eyes!!


Just putting it out there........

LOL

:hi: :silly:

[JoePhilly]

15. True, I think all those states are ONE PIECE on a child's puzzle ...

well, except PA.

:-)

[bicentennial_baby]

17. OMG! Too true!

:rofl:

[rug]

21. When you see a Turkey Hill you've entered Pennsylvania.

[LynneSin]

46. I'd know as soon as I bought something

You damn states of sales taxes. In Delaware if it's $1 then you pay $1 not some fricking $1.06

[JoePhilly]

16. E A G L E S ... EAGLES!!!!

Excellent ... another Eagles Phan.

20. Wildwood is awesome!!

[JoePhilly]

37. We used to call it Childwood ... becuase that's where all the young girls went :-)

[dajoki]

67. Ahhh, the memories...

The Penalty Box. I'm talkin' back in the '70's.:bounce:

[LostinVA]

39. It's actually a joke that pisses me off

Since the huge majority of NJ is either rural or suburban.

[JackBeck]

59. My sister lives in Cinnaminson, as well.

We grew-up in Morrestown. After living in Brooklyn for about 12 years, we moved to North Jersey.

Welcome to DU!

9. I used to live in Jersey City and in Madison.

I know ALL about tolls.

[lost-in-nj]

10. Yeah but

we got us

EZ pass....
Not JUST EZ pass- HIGH SPEED LANE EZpass
oh yeah and the Jersey Devil to...... The real one

So there. :bounce: :silly:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. Fuck, once you drive in Maine with ONE motherfucking toll road, any state besides is moronic.

:P

[Critters2]

19. Iowa has no toll roads....as God intended.

Illinois, on the other hand...:banghead:

[Joe Fields]

43. That's one more toll road than Missouri has.

[xmas74]

65. Yet.

We need something soon. Our roads are shit.

[yvr girl]

13. Been there, driven through

Don't remember any tolls...but I was busy chatting. Maybe I missed them all.

[sarge43]

18. New Jersey Turnpike

Rome, high noon.

Boston, getting in and out of Logan Airport especially noteworthy.

I-10 through west Texas.

Died in a terrible accident and now eternally driving in hell.

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

32. I was in Mt. Laurel, NJ a few weeks ago

asked someone what the New Jersey Turnpike was, they looked at me like I was crazy. What, I don't have any turnpikes out here. It's all very strange to me. :p

[NC_Nurse]

22. It seemed like Delaware costs more per mile.

Just sayin'. :shrug:

[JVS]

33. I'd like to see a cost comparison

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. I remember being 14 and driving through New Jersey with my family....

We were on the turnpike, heading towards New York. My father's car got a flat within sight of the city. It was about 99 degrees with humidity to match. Now, my father was a wonderful man, but rather inept when it came to anything mechanical. But he finally got the damn tire changed.

Now on the Illinois toll roads, they have rescue trucks that patrol the road looking for people who need mechanical help. Didn't see a damn one in New Jersey.

Happily, I have never slept in that state, though I did once spend a night in Newark, Delaware.

[LostinVA]

40. Why happily? It's a nice state

[LynneSin]

53. I once got a flat tire in NJ right before one of the bridges into PA

I'm wearing a silk dress with 3in spiked stilettos PLUS it's pouring down rain. Damn NJ police said they couldn't help me - assholes.

So in my silk dress, spiked heels and in the pouring rain I changed that tire but at the last minute one cop came over just to make sure it was on there tight.

Assholes

[MissMillie]

24. I did... years ago

my sister lived in Cape May and we had a family reunion at her house

not my favorite drive. probably had something to do w/ the tropical storm that hit.

[baldguy]

26. Why would I want to drive through New Jersey?

[Joe Fields]

27. It's true, I wouldn't be caught dead in New Jersey...

On second thought, that's probably how I'd end up...

Feel free to diss my home state of Missouri all you want boys and girls...:hi:

[CBHagman]

28. Well, I'm a Lounge Loser and have spent PLENTY of time in NJ

Hell, my family motto is "Sooner or later, you're going to New Jersey."

[YDogg]

29. Driven through it? Hell, I used to live there.

And years later, I drove through it.

:-)

[doc03]

30. They should just put a tollboth at the end of everyones

driveway and get it over with.

[NewJeffCT]

58. They did that 10 years ago

or at least it seems like they did

[KitchenWitch]

31. BTDT - freakin Jersey Turnpike!

[JVS]

34. So you think that being better than Jersey is some kind of claim to fame?

[mentalsolstice]

35. I'm old, but I've driven through

It was very gardeny...and pretty.

[LostinVA]

41. Thank you

[LynneSin]

55. You just like New Jersey cause you're getting a lil 'something-something' in that state

CONFESS!!!!!!!

[LostinVA]

66. She's in VA now

And I get a lot of something here.

[hellbound-liberal]

36. I don't think I can't fail to understand your question. Wow a triple negative!

Does your question mean that you CAN believe that SOME of us lounge idiots have never driven through New Jersey?

[LynneSin]

57. Perhaps I was just assuming everyone was a lounge idiot

but since I post here I guess I am one too

:hide:

[LostinVA]

38. I grew up in NJ and there were zippo tolls around us

The only tolls I hit now are when I use the 95 to go to NJ and use the Turnpike. Even then, it's only $3.10 from Exit 1 all the way to NONJ. And, if I go the other way because of 95 traffic, I have zero tolls.

[meegbear]

42. I drove through it last October to get to Philly ...

when they say "New Jersey? What exit?" they weren't kidding.

[LostinVA]

49. Nope, not true at all

[Hugin]

50. I have never driven through New Jersey...

or Delaware for that matter. :shrug:

[NewJeffCT]

60. I've suffered through Jersey driving many times

My ex-wife's family was from south Jersey...

Not exactly a fun drive from the Hartford, CT area to south of Atlantic City around the holidays!

[MistressOverdone]

61. Fifth generation NJ

but I escaped. Joke's on me: I miss it.

[conscious evolution]

63. What I liked about them when I drove

through Jersey was how the cameras only took photos of the front tags when you blew through the easy pass lane.

Georgia only requires rear tags.:evilgrin:

[SarahB]

64. We drive thru about twice a month.

EZ Pass is our friend. (The tolls still suck ass though. :()
