Came whippany through the englewood,\\
And garfield as it came.\\

So fuck you. Founded by a guy who could kick your state founder's ass, and boasting some of the safest, cleanest cities in America -- you hear that, jerk? -- New Jersey will destroy you, just say the word. And while the state has in recent years come under fire from environmental groups, that doesn't fucking matter because Jersey rules.

Psychologically, to say nothing of industrially, it is all wrong... It puts me in a bad humor for hours, and it just isn't worth it.

The surface was covered in tiny ripples as the rain hit it. The road changed to a checkerboard pattern about halfway over, and once they had finished crossing they were greeted by trees with red-and-white peppermint trunks. A green metal sign told them “Welcome to New Jersey.”\\
