We’ve all heard of the parlor game “FMK,” “F, Marry, Kill,” but we’re going to keep this PC and say that the “F” stands for “Friend.”

Play along with me.

You’re given three people, items, or scenarios and you rank them first (“Marry), second (“Friend”), and last (“Kill”).

Let’s start with some easy ones:

⚫ North Jersey
⚫ Central Jersey
⚫ South Jersey

(Personally, I’m marrying Central, but I’m biased)

But what about our classic Jersey foods?
🔴 Tomato
🔴 Blueberry
🔴 Corn

Here’s where they start to get a little more complicated….

What about when you’re enjoying a day at the Jersey shore? How would you rank these scenarios?

⚫ A group of people sitting way too close to you
⚫ Someone near you feeding seagulls
⚫ The family next to you playing their music louder than should be acceptable… and it’s country music

For me, this is an easy “kill” but let’s see if you agree:
🔴 Pork roll egg and cheese on a bagel
🔴 A slice of pizza
🔴 Salt water taffy

(Is anyone NOT killing taffy?)

You could go by looks or by their music, either way try to rank these Jersey guys:
⚫ Bon Jovi
⚫ Bruce Springsteen
⚫ Frank Sinatra

These scenarios combine to make a very specific Jersey Hell:
🔴 Driving behind an out of state driver going the speed limit in the left lane
🔴 Not being able to find parking when you’re trying to go to the beach
🔴 Your gas attendant not getting to you in a timely fashion because they’re on the phone

For any travelers playing this, I don’t know if there’s an easy “marry” here:
⚫ Being delayed in Newark Airport for 3 hours
⚫ Being on an NJ transit bus in traffic for 3 hours
⚫ Breaking down on the turnpike and having to walk for help for 3 hours

Ditto with these options:
🔴 Motor Vehicle Commission
🔴 Newark Airport Security
🔴 Unemployment Office

And just to top off the travel nightmares:
⚫ A traffic circle
⚫ A jug handle
⚫ Route 22

Back to the beach:
🔴 The person next to you spraying sunscreen and it goes into your area
🔴 The person next to you shaking their towel making all of the sand land on you
🔴 The people next to you being particularly loud and fighting with others about the election

Finally, do with this one what you will:
⚫ Buttzville
⚫ Ho-Ho-Kus
⚫ Loveladies
