Making Fun of Other States

Every state (except for Alaska and Hawaii) has jokes making fun of its neighbors. What are your favorites? As a New Yorker mine are:
If you were to give the United States and enema you'd give it in New Jersey.
No wonder New Yorkers are depressed, the light at the end of the tunnel is New Jersey.
trunger is counting...

since i'm a baseball type of guy, i only make fun of chicago mostly for a certain team which shall remain nameless. although, "cursed" would certainly figure in to that....
Do you mean the Cursed Underachieving Baseball Squad?
Maybe he's referring to the everyone with the last name of Moran.

pffft! that's amateur. Nothing beats the one from a couple winters ago. Woman got lost driving at night & ended up on (and then in) the local lake. Accidental death.
Wait, she was from Ohio... never mind.
Please note: Pennsyltucky does not encompass the entire state. Just everything between Philly & Pittsburgh.

I said states but I didn't really mean to exclude Canadian Provinces or divisions of other countries. I mean even a Quebecois should be able to make fun of Ontario.
They both border New York so i'm allowed.

A bit unrelated but still.
Shortly after the start of the Iraq war 2 guys of a German comedy show went to rural Texas with maps and asked random people to show them Iraq on the map and made fun of them (since approx. only 5% could :D). All recorded with hidden cameras. Mockery gold.

i live between indiana, michigan, pennsylvania and kentucky. i dont even know where to start.
Cincinnati is too far south, so many call it Cincitucky. also, any city in Ohio deemed backwater is *partial city name*-tucky. Swanton? Swan-tucky. Nothern Ohioans, esp of the Toledoan variety, know all about the blue-tailed traffic slugs (MichiganDers). although i think that term is outdated, since Michigan drivers are now way faster than Ohio drivers. And a Michigan Pass is to pass someone by riding their ass until they get out of your way. I dunno anything in partuclar people say about Indiana, but it does seem that most of the drivers from there are very old, and very slow. :P Pennsylvania all we know is DONT SPEED ON I-80 FOR GODS SAKE! set your cruise at 1 below the limit and just deal with it :P

it's not that they're slow, it's that they're an hour behind, due to the lack of daylight saving time. (although that joke is also outdated now)
Michigan drivers are only fast in Michigan. In Ohio, they drive 10 below the speed limit. :-/
ah, thus the "blue tailed traffic slug" name. see, my dad's from cinci and he uses that phrase.
see, we lived like maybe 3 miles from the MI border, so most often they were whipping down I-75 at top speed because they forgot they crossed the border :P so if you get too north in Ohio, they're maniacs :D
I dunno, I've heard lots of Washington natives make fun of Idaho...
100% dainty!

Pennsylvania has enough to be made fun of. But nobody has mentioned Delaware yet! Like, how it's nothing but a redneck shopping mall with some beaches? It's so lame it's *trying* to be New Jersey.
I have a shirt that says Del-a-where?
It has a permanent traffic jam on 95. When I used to drive to Baltimore regularly I learned that half the driving time was the 17 miles in Delaware.

When my parents lived in New Mexico, they got a shot glass that said "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you may be in Utah."

This is from the New York Times:
We�ve been interested to hear that the state dirt movement is gaining steam. As The Wall Street Journal pointed out this week, 21 states have now named an official state dirt, and New Jersey is considering adding a sandy loam to the list of honored soils. People have, of course, laughed. Some have suggested that a state legislature facing an $18 billion pension shortfall should have something better to do with its time. That kind of negative thinking misses the point. My favorite is that the state insect of California is the California Dog-faced Butterfly.
State bird of Missouri? The Eastern Blue Bird.
Edit: i.e. not the Cardinal.
Old Dominion by EFO was a finalist to be the state song of Virginia.
