I haven't lived there for 40 years but I can drop into a Jersey accent on a dime when I'm talking to family there and I do admit to having a bit too much interest in my hair.

I'm Thankful I'm not there right now...Christie would have driven me insane by now....and I'd probably have no family left. Quite a few like him because his persona is familiar to them...He's just like the idiot from down the block. Needless to say we don't discuss politics much.
