My favorite state rivalry joke:

Four guys are driving cross-country - one is from Maine, one is from Vermont, one from New Hampshire, and one from Massachusetts.

Away down the road, the man from Maine starts to pull potatoes from his bag and throw them out the window. The man from New Hampshire turns to him and asks, "What the hell are you doing?" The man from Maine says "Man, we have so many of these damned things laying around on the ground - I'm sick of looking at them."

A few miles down the road, the man from Vermont begins pulling bottles of maple syrup from his bag and proceeds to throw them out the window. The man from New Hampshire asks, "What are you doing that for?" The man from Vermont replies, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in Vermont and I'm sick of looking at them."

Inspired by the others, the man from New Hampshire opens the car door and pushed the man from Massachusetts out.

Like any good joke, that one can be recycled. Just substitute "man from Washington" for "man from New Hampshire" and "man from California" for "man from Massachusetts".

(The Washingtonians said it, not me.)

Such as:

A Massachusetts resident threw a grenade into New Hampshire. A New Hampshirite pulled out the pin and threw it back.

Nah, the only thing wrong with this joke is that if a typical Massachusetts resident saw an actual weapon, he'd run away from it squealing in fear.

Here's one I've heard: astroprisoner June 13 2005, 12:41:30 UTC
Q: Why is it so windy in Oklahoma?
A: Because Kansas sucks and Texas blows.

About all I know of Oklahoma is that down in the SW corner there is an Air Force base (Altus) that is used as the center to train pilots to fly C-5 Galaxy transport airplanes.

And that it is astoundingly flat out there.

I haven't been out there in a long time, but I will say that during my brief stays the people all seemed friendly.

I heard that joke between a Montanan and a North Dakotan yesterday.

The state musical instrument is the fiddle and forests cover 24% of Oklahoma.

Some remarkably pretty ones, at that. The Arbuckle mountains are well worth a drive through.

People have painfully painful accents there.

It is home to the presumably Vietnamese-American storm chaser and photographer who took this picture (that was like two entries down in my friend list from your post on Astronomy Picture of the Day's feed).
