Vive la Diferencia...
So the other Engage Students and I were talking about how we're all different...and ways we can tell. We decided to look up "You know you're from __________ if..." jokes. Here's the Eastern Washington ones...enjoy:)

You think ethanol makes your truck "run a lot better."
Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the day or year it is.
