Don't' forget derogitory shore resident term "Bennies"

The B. E. N. in BENnies stands for Bayonne, Elizabeth and Newark.

Also, I'm typing this on the Wireless network at the SeaTac airport.  I used to work for a large software company in the Seattle area.  Could only take the rain for a year before I moved back to New Jersey.  I didn't drink coffee either so I think the decision was mutual!

Bayonne is the center of the universe!

I had always heard that we "Bennies" where so named because of the large denomination bills we carried down the shore with us. "Bennie" Franklin as it were.
