    These are priceless. Thanks for a morning chuckle. (at least, I think they're supposed to be funny).

    The one for Alabama is incorrect.

    It actually is "At Least We're Not Mississippi."

    In Wyoming there were two bumper stickers for sale, they were designed to be attached to your pickup bumber with the first on the far left (first read); "Wyoming, where men are men, women are scarce, and sheep are nervous".

    The second one read; "And sheep are lying little b*tches!"

    Not a state, but my village's(!) motto is "worthy and strong".

    Our one here is...

    Welcome to the crime capital of the world.

    This due to a number of police helicopters buzzing around here day and night. I'm sure they got a nice selection of pictures of me hanging out the window and shouting out clear off you noisy sods.

    And here I thought California's motto was:

    Welcome to the land of fruits and nuts!

    BTW, the motto of Montana is the Treasure State. The slogan Big Sky Country is an advertising slogan, not our motto. Ted Kaczynski was not a Montanan, but from Illinois. Most of his life was spent on both coasts, not Montana. And we arrest the radical right whenever they step over the line. Montana Militia, gone. Montana Freemen, gone. Militia of Montana, ineffecitve with their property confiscated. CUT (Church Universal and Triumphant), gone with property confiscated.

    We in Montana are tolerant of our "goof-balls", but step out of line and its the "crowbar hotel" for you (after due process of course).

    The honest elections are true though, we still use paper ballots with a supplied pencil and "darken the appropriate circle", not punch card crap and machine readers.

    New Jersey's unofficial nickname, "The Garden State", is almost as funny as what you have. It gets funnier the farther north you go.
