New State Mottos

Is bingo really big in NE?

Rhode Island: Don’t sneeze.

West Virginia: Y’all Got Some Real Purty Lips

New Mexico: Safer than Regular Mexico

I am not making this up. One of the largest crops in Idaho is rapeseed, from which an oil is processed that is used in paints, etc.

Some years ago there was a movement to change the state motto on their license plates from referencing Idaho Potatoes. The new proposed motto was “Idaho - the Land of Rape”.

Somehow they never got very far with that.

Tennessee: Fighting Igornance Since 1796

New Hampshire: Not just for presidential primaries.

New Hampshire: Gateway to Maine

Vermont: Dude

Tennessee: We gave you Jack Daniel’s, what more do you want?

Tennessee: Better than Mississippi!

Tennessee: the State with a Middle!

Arizona: Where undocumented immigrants retire

Delaware: You’re never more than 90 minutes from Philadelphia

Illinois: 35% of us aren’t from Chicago

Indiana: We really do like high school basketball

Iowa: Come for the stereotypes. Stay for the stereotypes

Kansas: Like Missouri, but only with one city

Kentucky: Thoroughbreds and Bourbon. We don’t need anything else

Minnesota: The best of both worlds - Iowa and Canada

Missouri: If you think our big cities are conservative, visit the rest of the state

Nebraska: Convenient, non-stop flights to both Chicago and Denver

North Dakota: Sure, the winters suck, but we have nuclear weapons

Ohio: More than just Cincinatti, Cleveland and columbus. There’s also I-75

Virginia: The Civil War split us in two. Northern Virginia left by choice

Nebraska: Just Kill Me Now

Arkansas: Where Everybody Has The Same DNA

California: Our economy is world class!

I always thought North Dakota was “A Long Ways Across”.

Georgia: Come see where evolution left us behind.

Hey, it made me laugh.

AND Baltimore.

Not a state, but: St. Louis: Gateway to Kansas City
