#2 You know what they say about Hoboken: "The Statue of Liberty faces New York Harbor. Her ass faces Hoboken."

NJ's most famous musician has a lot to say about NJ: "New Jersey in the morning like a lunar landscape." "We've got to get out while we still can." Why didn't they use those lines?

#4 Damn, I would have voted for George Carlin's offering a few years ago:

"Kiss her where it smells funny...take her to New Jersey!"

#6 State Song:

When I die bury me low
Where I can hear the petroleum flow
A sweeter sound I never did know
The rolling mills of New Joisey.

#8 Yeah and a Merry Christmas to all a youse talking smack about lovely NJ.
Jersey ain't so bad, The only part that smells is Secaucus, and that's only because its near where the Jets play. Drive about 30 miles northwest on Newark airport and your in some really nice affluent country.
And I mean affluent not effluent wise guys.

#9 The only part that smells is Secaucus...

Whoa. Don't forget South Amboy. There is absolutely no smell quite like South Amboy. Coming down off the bridge, southbound on the Garden State Parkway in August, South Amboy goes far beyond the concept of mere "smell": it's a sensation that goes from the nostrils straight to the balls in a giant, crashing, nauseating wave of sludge, hitting with the force of a sledghammer wielded by every demon in Hell.

And don't forget Elizabeth. Dear, sweet Elizabeth, home of Exxon's Bayway Refinery. Just lovely.

And best of all: just a mile from where I grew up, on the banks of the serene Passaic River, lies beautiful Little Falls. Gaak!
