Welcome to NJ now go home

Mocking NJ should be the National montra

"I like New Jersey because I was born in Newark and in my mind I can still hear the constant roar of McCarter Highway in the background, especially when the refrigerator is running."

"I like New Jersey because everyone around here talks the same way I do."

"I like New Jersey because, although the air sometimes smells like burnt sausage casings, at other times it smells like raspberry Jello - and I like raspberry Jello."

"I like New Jersey because every car I've ever owned, old or new, has failed inspection for emissions, so the air must be cleaner than it looks."

"I like New Jersey because we put more politicians in jail where they belong than any other state."

"I like New Jersey because my mother-in-law from Pennsylvania is afraid to come here."

"I like New Jersey because this is where I learned to swear in Italian."

"I like New Jersey because under all that concrete, Paramus is actually a pretty nice place."

"I like New Jersey because a total stranger in Teaneck once flagged down my car to bum a light, and that couldn't happen just anywhere."

((did I mention that I've lived in NJ all my life? Scary thing is, this stuff is so true!))
