What are the jokes people in your state tell about nearby states?
An example::
In Missouri, they say if the "bootheel" were ceded to Arkansas, it would raise the average IQ of both states by two points.
In Louisiana, there is a famous speed trap, that results in the saying that "There are three things you can be sure of in life: Death, Taxes, and a speeding ticket in Golden Meadow."
In Milwaukee, drivers with Illinois plates are called FIBs. The 'I' stands for Illinois, I leave the rest to your imagination.
When I lived in VA,there was that VA/WV rivalry...
Did you hear about the folks from WV who were throwing sticks of dynamite at VA? Yea and VA was lighting them and throwing them back
There's one about South Carolina (my native state) which actually originated with a South Carolinian around the time of the Civil War concerning the issue of the state's secession: "Too small to be a republic, too large to be an insane asylum."

I got this off someone's blog, not a joke but a real-life incident.
Quote:
Once, on a business conference call (yes, really) a woman who shall remain nameless (though who I’ll tell you I secretly referred to as “Scout Finch”, because that’s who she reminded me of) took a shot at West Virginia. I told her, as I’ve told others, “Being from the north, the thing I don’t understand is why you Virginians act like there’s some sort of a difference.” Clearly, this touched a nerve, because she shot back with some hostility, “There is a difference - we don’t chase our brothers and sisters around.” In a fit of quick thinking the likes of which I have experienced neither before nor since that moment, I replied “That’s only because they don’t run.”
Here's a link to the blog
