And the motto of Antigua, W.I. is “Kiss my asterisks.”

3

LOL, yep :slight_smile:

4

biddee, them’s some funny stuff. I can’t wait to see the first indignant tightass response before this thread goes down like a locomotive on meth in the mountains.

5

Hee hee hee! Must share this with my boss. She will crack up.

6

I thought that the Louisiana motto was “Show us your tits and get some cheep plastic beads”.

7

I love the Kansas motto! Very fitting.

We WERE the first of the rectangle states, dammit!

8

:wink:

9

Only at certain times of the year.

10

You scoff now, but just wait till those mounites come a’trottin on down.

11

Actual T-shirts I saw in New Orleans:

**Louisiana: Third World and proud of it!

It’s not the heat, it’s the stupidity**

12

I, for one, welcome our red-jacketed overlords.

13

:confused:
…and I live in Illinois. What does this mean?

14

It means the state name is pronounced “Ill-annoy”, not “Ill-a-noise.”

15

Florida’s motto is right on, unfortunately. WAY to many elderly.

And yes, it’s pronounced “Ill-a-noi”…no “s”.

16

You know how doctors treat heart attacks in Jersey, right?

17

Red-jacketed my ass. I saw some of them come out of an office and walk across the street to a coffee shop way back in 1946. Three middle-aged guys, two bald and one fat, wearing green suits.

In the little Crimsen Manual it’s written plain and clear,
That those who wear the scarlet coat shall say good-by to fear,

Shall be a guardian of the right, a sleuth hound of the trail-
In the little Crimons Manual there’s no such word as “fail”-

Shall follow on though heavens fall, on bleeding hand and knees,

It’s duty, duty first and last the Crimson Manual saith,
The Scarlet Rider makes reply, “It’s duty to the death.”

Clancy Of The Mounted Police - Robert W. Service

18

Ah yea, The Royal anadian Mounted Police. Greatest feat of taxidermy ever!

19

Yup, sounds about right. Ohio’s worst nightmare would be to wake up one morning and realize that it has become Michigan. I imagine Michigan feels the same way about Ohio, when it’s not busy fending off the Mounties.

20

They all seem funny, except the one for my state. :smiley: I mean, there are far better thing to criticize MD for, besides tax, and 5% does seem that high to me.
