I've been able to spend some time in other states during my travels (New Orleans, Tampa, Phoenix) and when I tell people I'm from Jersey I sometimes get an, "Oh, I'm so sorry... I didn't know," type of response.

That's what Michael Caine's character says to the girl in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels when she tells him she's from New Jersey!

But when I get knocked to the ropes in these conversations, I'm always able to counterpunch my way out with one topic FOOD. Jersey has some great ethnic food. Just choose the nationality and you'll find what you're looking for. Good bakeries, too!
