I had some other thoughts on a few.
California = Where Mexicans and olives come together.
Hawaii = where only Kenyans dream of becoming President
Indiana = the state with no Indians
Alabama = United what?!
Maine = 6 months indoors, 6 outdoors
Maryland = A state divided really can stand
Mississippi = Have you see our river?
Nebraska = Land of the corny jokes
Minnesota = We fell down from Canada
Missouri = Misery or Missouri, what's the difference?
New Jersey = The Garbage State
Montana = We are not Minnesota
Nevada = No, we aren't square
North Carolina = We invented spitoons
New Mexico = the Old Mexico sucked
Ohio = Midwest slang for "Hi y'all"
Oregon = No Thyme either
Pennsylvania = Alternate Germany
Washington = Year long Rain Festival
West Virginia = Abandoned by Virginia
Wisconsin = Home of Velveeta
Wyoming = Lots of Roaming
and the subject under discussion.
A friend and her husband, an M.D., came to NM to set up in an under-served area; treatment in exchange for chickens and so on. They looked for the poorest counties and settled on the one next door to mine. The only other poorer was in MS.
