I've seen all of these at some point or another:

New York: F*ck you, you f*cking f*ck. (you can get NY t-shirts that say this).

Maryland: We made syphillis trendy again.

Oregon: We can't help it if serial killers seem to like trees so much.

New Jersey: Which exit do you want?

North Dakota: Canada annexed us and nobody noticed.

Louisiana: America's musty armpit.

Georgia: This state contains some people who don't believe in evolution. They claim evolution is a theory, not a fact, clearly showing they don't know what "theory" means in science. These people should be avoided when feasible, laughed at when butting in on educational standards and discouraged from further polluting the gene pool as much as possible.

Those were some pretty funny lists, rah.

I've been thinking, I have some scans of semi-vintage "Greetings" from the different states, like the one below. They're not humorous, but quite interesting - at least to me.

If there's an interest, I could post them all here over the course of a week or so.
