That being said, it seems like today has been abnormally benny heavy, but after monday they are effing gone for like 8 months. WOOOOOO
Edit: You would think so plungerhand, but in actuality they do not. All they do is keep locals from going into any businesses/restaurants/bars from memorial to labor day. When the summer comes, i drink at home. The rest of the year im out every single night.
If the bennies just stopped coming, the economy would actually boom because you would see all the locals now willingly going to the boardwalk and beaches daily during the summer.
The world is a much happier place when they go home. But it's important to know that not every tourist that comes here is a benny. The people who come down and respect us, respect our roads and communities are fine and welcome. It's the a-holes that we're glad to see go.
Another side note...has anyone else noticed that sometimes the biggest bennies aren't even from out of state, they're actually from North Jersey?
I agree, not ALL tourists are bennies, but at least in my area id say its a good 90%, if not higher. Then again i live right next to Sleazeside so my opinion is definitely skewed.
I think the problem with in-state bennies is they have the mentality "Well im from the state too so this place is just as much mine as anyone elses", but it is not. Just because you are on the jersey side of the Lincoln tunnel does not make you anything more than the worthless human being you are.
Maybe next year we can get some terrorists to bomb the boardwalks during the summer. That would be senseless violence i would support.
