A guy from WV passed away and left his entire estate to his beloved widow, but she can't touch it 'til she's 14.
How can you tell if a WV redneck is married? There's dried tobacco juice on BOTH sides of his pickup truck.
Did you hear that they have raised the minimum drinking age in WV to 32? It seems they want to keep alcohol out of the high schools.
What do they call reruns of "Hee Haw" in WV? Documentaries.
Where was the tooth brush invented? WV. If it had been invented anywhere else, it would have been called a teeth brush.
A WV State Trooper pulls over a pickup and says to the driver, "Got any I.D.?" And the driver replies "Bout wut?"
Did you hear about the $3 million WV Lottery? The winner gets $3.00 a year for a million years.
A new law was recently passed in WV. When a couple gets divorced they are STILL cousins.
A WV man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only 2 minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?", the doctor asked. "No," the man answered, "This is her husband."

Oh my, Jay. I have no idea how to respond to that. After all, New Jersey is not exactly the butt of anyone's jokes.

Bravo.

Well…. Since NJ is where the vast majority of out of state students come from to WVU, we tell plenty of NJ jokes too!

In Alabama we just got a federal grant to re-dirt the interstate.

This doesn't even make sense. Tell funnier jokes if you must tell any. Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
What doesn't make sense? I mean it wasn't rolling on the floor funny, but, unless I've caught on fire, I tend not to roll on the floor anyway. It more like rolling your eyes funny. Still rolling, but more low-key.

Maybe Orincoro didn't understand it.

Orincoro demands subjective quality.
Out here in the great state of Delmarva, USA:
Speed limits are just suggestions. We know we don’t have to go that fast. Speeding consists of 2 miles over the speed limit.
Our idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
We know perfectly well why Rehoboth is called "Little San Francisco".
Our Christmas parades mainly consist of Volunteer Fire department trucks.
We load up on milk and bread before a snowstorm.
3 snowflakes is all it takes to cancel school and close all businesses.
The whole state panics and uses all of their road salt for those 3 snowflakes.
We can identify all the major types of manure by smell (especially chicken!)
You can eat muskrat at a church dinner but you can't help but think to yourself that it's better the way you fix it.
Out here we think Salisbury, MD is a big city.
Every other person you meet is a 32nd cousin once removed.
We can tell the difference between the smells of septic and marsh.
It's perfectly natural to find rental movies, groceries, ammunition and bait all in the same store.

Orincoro, basically, the joke is insinuating that people from West Virginia have bad dental hygene, namely that they only have a single tooth.
If the toothbrush had been invented anywhere else, it would be called a teethbrush, meaning that in other places people have better dental hygene than West Virginia. NOW the joke isn't funny, though it wasn't all that bad to start with.

I married a Delmarva state resident, and went to college there. Those all are way to true to be funny.

You had to point that out for me to realize it was "Orincoro" and NOT, "Orinoco."
Definately going crazy
Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :
I actually typed "Orinoco" first. But something about it didn't look right to me.
Ori, where does "Orincoro" come from? Is that your real name?
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
It sounds like something Scooby Doo would say.
Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :
Actually, I searched Orincoro on Yahoo and it asked me "Did you mean: Orinoco". <grin>
Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
Maybe it should be parsed "Ori 'n' Coro", the first part being the dwarf from The Hobbit. I don't know who Coro is, though, so my theory sort of falls apart at that point.

Wait. It's "Orincoro? That's just messed up. You are definitely not the only one. Your Shvester believes that it really is "Orinoco", but the blame fool just mistyped it.

'Orinoco Flow' is a song by Enya.
Or something.

I feel bad now. Ori, we're not dogpiling you. At least, I didn't mean to.
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
I also read it as Orinoco for the longest time.
