You should probably note that this is Maryland. There is also a Montgomery County, Texas and PA.
Here's some more that have been going around for awhile.
* You know better than to think that Go-Go is an 80s band
*You've crossed the border into DC and didn't realize it
*When you say you're going to the mall you don't necessarily mean you're going shopping
*There's at least 4 7-elevens on a road and each of them are at least a mile from each other
* Two words: Red Line
*You have been to at least a dozen twenty-four hour restaurants in the middle of the night...yes, the silver diner and tastees count
*You have a story about getting lost in Anacostia
*You have memorized where every red-light camera in the area is
*When people from around the area ask where you live, you tell them the name of the closest metro station and not your actual town
*You have eaten at Tastee's Diner in Bethesda drunk
*You cover everything you eat with OldBay...chips, fries, sandwiches, pizza, cereal...everything
*Chevy Chase is a place to live and shop, not an actor
*There are at least 8 ways to get everywhere and you know which way to go based on the time of day and whether you're coming or going
*You've been to a street race
* When you fly, you have 3 airports to choose from: Dulles, BWI, and Washington National...but you know that nobody ever calls it Washington National anymore except for locals...and you always choose BWI
*There are no North, South, East, or West directions on the Beltway, it's just the inner or outer loop
* You NEVER call "the Metro" the subway
lol... scenic electric maid.
or one of my favorite ones (thanks to Sperling for it):
10)-You know David Richman. If you don't, you must have just missed him.
I know what I was doing in Poolesville, and I hope Rosie did too, because it was her wedding.
Actually, a lot of MoCo, MD-related jokes would work for Montgomery County, Texas, too... since it's the home of The Woodlands.
