THE SMARTEST/DUMBEST STATES

The rankings are based on a formula for U.S. Census data that considers the percentage of adults with college degrees and high school diplomas, along with the highest median SAT scores.

* If people in New Jersey are so smart, why do they all live in New Jersey?
* I guess the folks at Safehome.org never saw “Jersey Shore”.
* If people from Massachusetts are so smart, make them spell Massachusetts.
* A farmer who lives next to the Idaho border gets a visit from a state surveyor who tells him, “There’s been a mistake. Your farm isn’t in Idaho, it’s actually in Montana.” And the farmer says, “Thank goodness, those Idaho winters were horrible.”
* Meanwhile, Florida continues to maintain a solid lead in “Wackos”.
