Last Day in NJ

So, I'm done with the class. Please hold your applause until you finish reading this. I got a 93.7 on the final test. The pre-course assessment (test) was horrible. I got a 33. So, this just shows how awesome I am. I would dazzle you by explaining the theory of relativity, but I dont want to lose you.

Ok, if you've never been to NJ here are a few things that I've observed. You cant pump your own gas. It's illegal. You wouldn't think this is such a bad thing until you have to wait in line for the ONE guy that works there to pump the eleventy-three cars in front of you. Dont bother going to the station down the road, they only have one pump jockey too.

Next is the "jughandle". Most of you think this is how you get the milk from the case into your cart. You sir, or ma'am, would be WRONG. You see, in NJ you have to turn right to turn left. Think about it... let it sink in... Now this wouldnt be a bad thing if they were CONSISTENT in the placement and type of jug handle used. It would also be nice if they would use ONLY a jug handle for left turns. It really sucks when you plan to turn left, get in the right lane and then pass the left turn lane on the LEFT side of the road. I've probably wasted 5 gallons of gas in the last two weeks backtracking because of poor signage or inconsistency. Jughandles, they hate me and I hate them. U turns are illegal too. Everyone does it though, because jughandles suck!
Here are two references of them.

NJ has pizza joints EVERYWHERE. Not Dominos, Pizza Hut or Papa John's. I'm talking about honest to goodness mom and pop places. I've eaten in three pizza places near Ft. Dix and McGuire AFB and three places here in Bordentown. In each place there are at least two people in the back yelling at each other in Italian. I havent had a bad slice yet. They are huge slices and almost always have completely fresh ingredients.

I think that's all I have for now. I have to go look for another bag because my checked bag was a couple of pounds too heavy. I need to get to bed early tonight because I have to get up at the ass crack of dawn. My flight is at 6:30, you have to be there at least 1.5 hrs prior so that's 5:00 and it's about an hour to Philly. I have to turn my rental in too. Yay for me! I have to leave here at 3:30!
