SHORT FUNNY QUOTES ABOUT STATES



You'll enjoy this list of short funny quotes about states. These are stupid questions that have actually been asked by adult American citizens.

I kid you not.

These questions were discovered through internet searches of every U.S. State, along with quite a few phone calls to hotels and travel bureaus. But before you go making fun of ignorant tourists (known to many as "tourons"), be aware that just as many of the questions below are asked by local residents, upon meeting someone from another state.

People from most parts of the world will have a good laugh here and be reminded, once again, of their intellectual superiority over we, the people of the dumbed-down United States. As for us (and that means U.S.), read 'em and weep, America! Or, failing that, have someone read them TO you.

Feel free to submit your own stupid questions via this site's contact page. The best ones will be added to our list. We promise not to mention any names.
