If your 2023 bingo card did not include a second Michigan-Ohio war, you’re not alone.
A billboard in downtown Detroit promoting travel to Ohio with the slogan “Ohio: The heart of it all” went viral over the weekend, leaving Michiganders confused and Ohioans defensive. Also, for some reason, they really want Michigan to take Toledo back. Too late, guys. Too late.
Here are some of the funniest jokes cracked over the weekend — and if you’re an Ohioan reading this, you can keep Toledo.

Doesn't phase me.— Jeremy 💂 ⚾ (@GuardTheCLE) May 19, 2023I would surrender Toledo to Michigan before I would give Texas back to Mexico. And I'm a guy who REALLY wants to give Texas back to Mexico.— The Jerk Store (@cantstandja82) May 19, 2023I'm reminded of the old joke from Lou Holtz: Ohio and Michigan fought a war over Toledo, and Ohio must have lost, because they ended up with it.— Vince Guerrieri (@vinceguerrieri) May 19, 2023The fact they think we’ll be upset if they take back Toledo 💀— Ryan Latorre (@rlatorre23) May 19, 2023Michigan: that’s it, we are taking back ToledoOhio: Promise?— marhooga (@marhooga) May 19, 2023Meh, we dealt with those Tim Allen “Pure Michigan” ads for years.
