You know you're from Virginia when ...

Speed limits are just suggestions

You have at least two friends who have no idea what their relatives do...because its "top secret" government work

Most of your senior class went to Mason, JMU, Tech, VCU or UVA

You've never told someone you're from Virginia without putting "northern," "central," or "southern" in front of it

It's not actually tailgating unless your bumper is touching the car in front of you

You know yellow light means at least 5 more cars can get through. (Yeah, man...at least. Probably also happens everywhere else.) A red light means 2 more can

You actually know what the black boxes at stoplights are for

Despite the fact that Virginia fought for the south in the Civil War, you are not, under any circumstances, a "southerner"

You are amused by visiting relatives who are actually excited to see Washington, DC

You took a field trip to Williamsburg as a kid

You are amazed when you go out of town and the people at McDonalds speak English

You or someone in your family has a Smart Tag

An inch of snow and you miss 3 days of school

All the potholes just add a little excitement to your driving experience

Crown Victoria = undercover cop

Subway is a fast food place. The transportation system is known as Metro, and only Metro

They just tore down the old farm house across the street and put 12 new McMansions in its place

For the cost of your house, you could own a small town in Iowa

If you stay on the same road long enough, it will eventually have three new names

You have to dial the area code to call your neighbor

"Vacation" means spending a day at King's Dominion or Busch Gardens

"Going to the River" means any stream with water

You have never been served tea without the waitress asking "sweet or unsweetened?"

Your favorite past time is telling West Virginia jokes

Anyone who can't trace his or her ancestry back to at least four generations in Virginia is an outsider

"Going to the beach" means anywhere from Ocean City to Virginia Beach to Myrtle Beach

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Virginia
