You Know You're On Long Island When

Every road has 2 or 3 names.
Nobody laughs when you say you live "IN" Shirley or Roslyn.
Everyone smiles when you say Commack Motor Inn.
You and your friends used to play games and have an apple and cheese board with drinks at Tiffany's.
You wore your socks outside your sweats and sometimes still do.
Garage sale signs from 3 months ago still on the telephone polls.
A nice apartment is $1,000 a month.
You know the difference between parkways and expressways.
If you've ever dug for clams with your toes.
No hamburgers with mustard.
You've driven by the Amityville Horror house.
No matter what you do, you end up at the diner.
A starter home costs $400,000.
You've seen Bobby Nystrom food shopping.
Randy Jackson has played your block party.
School superintendents make $8 million off the books.
Half the government officials are in jail.
It takes you 3 hours to drive one mile.
You need a translator to find out how much you owe at a convenience store.
When the words "Park & Ride" = Gay Sex.
If you have a lawsuit against Lizzie Grubman.
When a wedding costs you more than a brand new car.
Your town is divided into "legal" and "illegal" residents.
When you have to prostitute your wife and daughter to pay your tax bills.
There are 10 chain drug stores within a mile of each other.

Even though it may be true, I think I resent this remark!!!!

Isn't that something about the cost of living. Los Angeles has similar problems. When I get told I was out of my mind to move back to Cleveland, I simply state the following.

You have to have a translator, not only to shop at a convenient store, but for fast food drive thrus.

A nice apartment is also at minimum $1000 a month.

It cost $200 a year to plate my 99 Compact car.

No matter what time a day, or day of week, you will get stuck in traffic.

Average homes cost over $400 G's.

It is a long drive to get anywhere.

Wages are not adjusted to the cost of living.
