10 Jokes That You Only Get If You’re From West Virginia

Here in West Virginia, we are often joked about. If it isn’t about our missing teeth, it is about our inbred families.

I’m here to put a stop to that!

We all get an education, graduate from high school and college, marry someone OUTSIDE of our family, and typically have all of our teeth (unless we’re old).

We do love a good joke, though! And some of these, we can totally relate!

1) The roads are clear here in West Virginia.

Oh, yes. No matter how crazy our weather gets, or how snowy and icy our roads are, there is no calling off of work.
2) That speeding car is 10 feet away? I can make it.
Disclosure
Everyone in my family has hit a deer. They're so common here! Especially where my family lives with a lot of surrounding woods, we see them all the time.
3) So you've just had your wheel alignment? Let me fix that.

This could not be more true! Many tires get blown here in West Virginia at the hand of potholes. They just come out of no where!
4) One simply does not say, "Lets go" ... without following it with "Mountaineers!"

This is so true!
5) West Virginia murders are hard to solve. There are no dental records and all of the DNA is the same.

Ah, yes. The classic inbred jokes. Too funny.
6) You do realize that trying to take weapons from West Virginian is pretty much suicide, right?

Here in West Virginia, we fully believe in the 2nd amendment!
7) What if I told you... not everybody in Fayette County is a redneck, pillhead, or a pregnant teen.

This is a crazy stereotype in not only Fayette County, but in all of West Virginia! It seems like anywhere I go outside of this state, people always think the worse of us.
8) West Virginia: 500,000 people, 4 last names.
PinStake
Also untrue. We actually have 1.85 million. And way more than just 4 names!
9) West Virginia in a nutshell.
PinStake
While this can be true depending on where you are in the state, most of West Virginia actually has plenty of things to do!
10) Wait... so there is actually a West Virginia?

Yes! Virginia and West Virginia have been separate since 1863!

Obviously, some of these jokes aren’t true. But as a native West Virginian, I can definitely say that I have had to explain that we are our own state before!

And people say that we’re the stupid ones!
