#37: Poor Alabama
Sometimes I feel really bad for Alabama: they are so often the butt of jokes from other states. Maybe it’s not as bad as Florida, but still, they put up with a lot: jokes about accents. Jokes about being a redneck. Jokes about not having all of your teeth. And most of all, jokes about marrying your cousin.

So, though I am not from Alabama, allow me to defend them for a moment. Yes, technically, it is legal to marry your cousin in Alabama. But it is also legal in twenty other states, including California, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont. So maybe we should stop giving Alabama such a hard time about it and start making fun of California instead.
