New Jersey is not all that unusual as a state - a pile of politicians that have ran it down the financial drain, double dipping by industrious state officials for personal gain, completely incompetent state workers. But line all the states up and we're way better than states like Illinois and Rhode Island.
But NJ has acquired a certain reputation that is the endless butt of jokes, and tv has always used Jersey accents and the refineries along the turnpike as a sort of proof.
The curmudgeon lives in one of the more refined (joke intended) part of NJ. We have nature preserves (called Reservations) and are adjacent to horse country where fox hunts still occur and old money still exists.
We simply keep it a secret.
