Did you know the reason the Irish celebrate St. Patrick's Day is because this is when St. Patrick drove the Norwegians out of Ireland.
It seems that some centuries ago, many Norwegians came to Ireland to escape the bitterness of the Norwegian winter. Ireland was having a famine at the time, and food was scarce. The Norwegians were eating almost all the fish caught in the area, leaving the Irish with nothing to eat but potatoes.

St. Patrick,taking matters into his own hands, as most Irishmen do, decided the Norwegians had to go. Secretly, he organized the Irish IRATRION (Irish Republican Army to Rid Ireland of Norwegians) Irish members of IRATRION passed a law in Ireland that prohibited merchants from selling ice boxes or ice to the Norwegians, in hopes that their fish would spoil. This would force the Norwegians to flee to a colder climate where their fish would keep. Well, the fish spoiled, all right, but the Norwegians, as everyone knows today, thrive on spoiled fish.

So, faced with failure, the desperate Irishmen sneaked into the Norwegian fish storage caves in the dead of night and sprinkled the rotten fish with lye, hoping to poison the Norwegian invaders. But, as everyone knows, the Norwegians thought this only added to the flavor of the fish. They liked it so much they decided to call it "lutefisk", which is Norwegian for "luscious fish". Matters became even worse for the Irishmen when theNorwegians started taking over the Irish potato crop and making something called "lefse".
Poor St. Patrick was at his wit's end, and finally on March 17th, he blew his top and told all the Norwegians to "GO TO HELL". So they all got in their boats and emigrated to Minnesota or the Dakotas —- the only other paradise on earth where smelly fish, old potatoes and plenty of cold weather can be found in abundance. The End. -

It is a surprise to many that Iowa is actually an acronym: Idiots Out Wandering Around.
 
The governor of Oklahoma visited the governor of Texas on his ranch. The Texas governor was bragging about the size of his land. "My house is in the center of my land. From there we can get in my truck and drive at top speed from sun up to sun down and still not reach the boundary of my property." The Oklahoma governor looked at him knowingly and said "Yeah, I used to have a truck like that too."

A janitor had worked diligently for Oklahoma University for over 30 years when he decided to retire. The dean heard of the janitor's retirement plans and decided that at the upcoming football game, the university would honor his years of devoted service. At halftime of the game, the janitor was called out onto the field, to the 50 yard line where he was introduced to the crowd, which roared and chanted his name. Then, the dean announced that the university was honoring the janitor with an honorary degree but first, he had to answer a one-question test to make the degree legal and valid. The dean asked the janitor if he was ready for his question, janitor said he was ready. The dean asked, "who was the first president of the United States?" The janitor replied, "George Washington sir", and at that, the entire 85,000 person OU crowd yelled, "give him another chance!!"
 
(not a next door state but we sure get a lot of 'em)

Why are New Yorkers like hemorrhoids?

Because when they come down but go back up... they're a minor irritation.

But when they come down and stay, they're a major pain in the... "back end".

One on my own state which I do in fact dearly love...

I got arrested coming back into Kentucky last week. I was charged with smuggling books into the state.

Turned out OK, I got off on a technicality. No one could prove they were books. :D

Well, yeah... You heard about the tragic fire in the Notre Dame library?

Luckily they were able to save the book....
