I do believe this author needs to get a real job. This is one of those fluff, no-substance pieces where nothing really gets said. Worst Journalism Ever!

Morgantown.. the only city in america where you can buy a couch and have it delivered for $20 with the sole intent to burn it in the street follwing a WVU game... NO, I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP!

I've lived in New Jersey for the last two years. Just a quick question... If a "stereotype" describes reality, is it really a "stereotype"?

People from West Virginia stereotyping people from Jersey?

LOL! I've lived in New Jersey for 15 years. The "Garden State" is a misnomer.

Yes-it's true-Joisey people tend to be rude. We get worse the closer you get to NYC or Philly.

How 'bout this song by a Jersey guy about his fellow Jersy-ites.

I'm from New Jersey
I don't expect too much
If the world ended today
I would adjust

I'm from New Jersey
No I don't talk that way
I watched too much TV
When I was young

I'm from New Jersey
My mom's Italian
I've read those mafia books
We don't belong

There are girls from New Jersey
Who have that great big hair
They're found in shopping malls
I will take you there

I'm from New Jersey
It's not like Texas
There is no mystery
I can't pretend

I'm from New Jersey
It's like Ohio
But even more so
Imagine that

I know which exit
And where I'm bound
The tolls on the parkway
They will slow you down

New Jersey people
They will suprise you
Cause they're not expected
To do too much

They will try harder
They may go further
Cause they never think
That they are good enough

I'm from New Jersey
I don't expect too much
If the world ended today
I would adjust
I would adjust
I would adjust

Maybe we should consider making Joisey-ites a protected group.
(he,he,he I can't wait to tell my wife. She's from that country).
