Line 148:
* Everyone who lives in Oklahoma is either a proud [[Magical Native American|Native American living in a teepee]], or a dumb-as-rocks hillbilly living in a trailer wondering why the "ternaders" always blow his house away.
* West Virginia has that whole [[Kissing Cousins]] thing and letting kids drive when they are 2.
* [[Florida]]. 98% of Americans think Florida's history began with the invention of air conditioning, the Panhandle is the only part of the state that is possibly south of the Mason-Dixon line, Miami-Dade is part of Cuba, not the United States, and the state's population doubles the day the first snowflake falls north of the Mason-Dixon line. Also, ask more than 99% of Americans what the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in North America is, and the answer will not be St. Augustine. Latin Americans see Florida as a haven for expats from troubled countries, whenever they are the victims or the perpetrators; also as the place those horrible talk shows from basic Spanish cable come from. Nowadays, it is seen as a sort of hub for weird events: see [[Only in Florida]] and [[Only in Miami]] for details.
* Virginia overall is seen (by those who are even aware that Virginia and West Virginia are separate states) as the reddest of the red states, inhabited solely by Pat Robertson, George Allen, Ken Cuccinelli, and Eugene Delgaudio. This also plays into the divide between Northern Virginia and the rest of the state.
* (in monotone) "[[Wayne's World|Hi. We're from... Delaware.]]"
