How about this one for Alaska:
"Let's cut Alaska in half, and Texas can be the third largest state."
And, you used to actually see this one in Colorado:
"Welcome to Colorado, now go home."

I think California had that one first.  That would be a variation of:
California - "Zonies, go home!"
(to those not in the know, "Zonies" is what we call people from Arizona - they like to invade SoCal in the summer. I don't blame them, it's hot in AZ!!)

California might have had it first, but it would have been a long time ago. That was popular in Colorado in the 70's when the environmentalists thought that you could limit growth.
Didn't happen.

Tennessee - Our interstate highway system was designed by a three year old.
Kentucky - Gas gets cheaper as the lotto goes up!
Ohio - Where old hippies go to die.
Arkansas - Clinton : our revenge for that "war of northern agression."
Arkansas - Property of Walmart, Inc.
Mississippi - Keeping the other southern states out of last place for over 150 years!
Texas - Where men are men and cows are nervous!
Texas - Only thing bigger than our state is our women's hair.
and some city ones:
New Orleans -Keeping "Girls Gone Wild" in buisness for over 200 years.
Branson MO - It's like if Ned Flanders ran Vegas!
Memphis TN - Beale Street is a lot like Burbon Street... really!
