> [@What\_Exit](#): > > The Turnpike exits are less useful. The turnpike really goes SW to NE but mostly N/S due to the geography of the state being roughly 3x as high as it is wide. While I associate the ~~“Where do you live?”~~ “What exit?” more with the GSP it does apply to the turnpike as well. It also doesn’t hurt that the GSP is in the more population dense eastern half of the state so there’s a good chance a NJ resident _does_ use the GSP regularly & therefore, “What exit?” is somewhat synonymous with “Where do you live?” ---

> [@Tripler](#): > > I have _used_ “1920’s style Death Ray” at work to see if anyone takes the bait… So far, nobody’s called me out on it. I posted “This workplace has been velociraptor free for \_\_\_ days” on our safety board, once. I was surprised that it stayed up for months. It was in a main hallway.
