Snappy comebacks to stupid state quarters

I think we can all agree that the new quarters that have states on the back are completely awesome. The process of designing these quarters has kept scores of beaurocrats busy arguing whether, say, Wisconsin's quarter should have a cow and a wheel of cheese, or a canoe with an explorer and native American, and in the latter case, deciding who should be sitting and standing. In addition, they have the benefit of boosting morale in states, while simultaneously putting worthless non-states like Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. in their place. Here are some possible changes that could be made to these quarters.
  • Maryland
    • Current quote: The Old Line State
    New quote: The Flibber Jibber State
    Because both of these are equally meaningful to me.
  • North Carolina
    • Current quote: First In Flight
    New quote: Nothing useful for 100 years
  • Kentucky
    • Current quote: My old Kentucky home
    New quote: Slavery free since 1992!
  • Louisiana
    • Current quote: Louisiana Purchase
    New quote: Louisiana Purchase (no, that doesn't refer to the BJ you got behind a dumpster at Mardi Gras)
  • Florida
    • Current quote: Gateway to discovery
    New quote: More in common with a dack than just the shape
  • New Jersey
    • Current design: Shows Washington crossing the Delaware into New Jersey during the Revolutionary war
    New design: No changes, but I would add the caption: "The last time anyone went to New Jersey on purpose."
  • Mississippi
    • Current quote:The Magnolia State
    New quote:Still not over the civil war
