Delaware.

Delaware.

Delaware’s scenic beauty, low taxes, and affordable housing
make this tiny state a wonderful place to live, work and play.

ADVICE FOR ANYONE MOVING TO DELAWARE…or just visiting.

1. The Beach traffic is horrible and never stops. It is like this year round.
This also applies to the state fair, Nascar, firefly, and any and all other events happening in Delaware.

2. It’s a different world below the canal. “Lower Slower Delaware”

3. If you do run your car into a ditch, don’t panic.
Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don’t try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.

4. Remember: “Y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural. “All y’all’s” is plural possessive.

5. Get used to the phrase: “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity”
And the collateral phrase: “You call this hot? Wait ’til August”

6. Don’t tell us how you did it up there. Nobody cares.

7. If you think it’s too hot, don’t worry. It will cool down in December (if you are lucky)

8. A Mercedes-Benz is not a status symbol. A Chevy, Dodge, or Ford is.

9. If someone says they’re “fixin” to do something, that doesn’t mean anything’s broken.

10. The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

11. If you see a slower moving vehicle on a two lane road pull onto the shoulder, that is called “courtesy”.

12. BBQ is a food group. It does NOT mean the act of grilling burgers and hot dogs outdoors.

13. Yes, weddings, funerals, and divorces must take into consideration Football games.

14. Everything is better with Ranch dressing.

15. DO NOT honk your horn at us to be obnoxious, we will sit there until we die.

16. We pull over and stop for emergency vehicles to pass.

17. We pull over for funeral processions, turn our music off and men remove hats or caps. Some people put their hand over their heart.

18. “Bless your Heart” is a nice way of saying you’re an idiot.

19. No matter what kind: sprite, coke, pepsi, mountain dew, it is called Soda

20. If you don’t like the weather in DELAWARE, wait 15 minutes, it will change.

21. Hughes scrapple is the best.

22. Everyone knows everyone so don’t talk shit it will get back to them!

23. Don’t speed in small towns down state (Felton , Greenwood, Harrington, etc.)
The “popo” will get you!!

24. You will get use to the smell.

25. Greenwood fire house chicken is the bomb!!!!

We ripped this from the interweb.
