Believe it or not, I thought of you when I read Michigan's.

LOL! That's great!

Go Utah!

I'm trying to decide if I should get offended or not. . .

Nevada: Hookers and Poker!
City Mottoes
Reno: Arrive on vacation, leave on probation.
Las Vegas: Honey, I lost the rent again.

West Virginia: One Big Happy Family... Really!
I fail to see why anyone would say such a horrible thing about a great state. I don't know where that sterotype started but it really needs to stop. Everyone knows that if you're in trouble and you're in West Virginia someone will stop and help no questions asked. I guess ignorance is bliss with some people.

Sterotypes are never funny

I like Kentucky's. I know a few people there, who all know each other... I'm surprised they're not family.

Most women in California have had so much plastic surgery, instead of being buried ... they are recycled.

Here's my favorite

Kentucky: Five Million People; Fifteen Last Names

Oregon's Motto should be,

If you liked everything in California so dam.. much then take your a$$ back.

Actually, Washinton's state motto should be..........."gives the bird to the trucker that just cut you off" and " get off of the phone you &^%$# idiot"

I have experienced many such incidents in the last two weeks where I'd like to just.....nevermind.


We are just simply the evergreen state.

I had to laugh at the North Carolina one - I tried tobacco for the very first time today. My goodness - at first it was sweet and then it burns! YUCK YUCK YUCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up in WA but now live in CA - believe me, CA is worse! When I go back to visit my family once or twice a year I'm shocked at how much better it is to drive in WA than here!
