State Mottos

my suggestions:

Ohio--You only think you've been bored before

New Hampshire--the rocks are hard but our heads are harder
(I live in NH so its ok)

New York--Attitude? You think you know an attitude?

Colorado--Altitude? You think you know altitude? or 'where oxygen and brains are scarce'

Texas--If only we put a back door on that Alamo

Do any of you remember the "Ski Nebraska" poster? It showed a guy on skis in the middle of a flat field full of the stubble of cornstallks and a little bit of drifted snow. :D

There was a back door and a few left or were sent. Real heros and I suppose you meant that as as joke but every time I hear this joke I think, "well, that just doesn't strike me as funny."

"Howdy partner!" is more like the motto for Texas. Or perhaps "How about them gasoline prices now baby?"
 
How many Virginians does it take to change a light bulb?

Seven.

One to put the new one in & 6 to form a comittee to talk about how good the old one was.

It's "The University".

Tobacco finds its way into the School Lunch Program as a Vegetable.

You're either related to Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Captain John Smith, or you work for AOL or the military.

You have a 5 day vacation- it's either beach or mountains.

You have out of state plates & you are stuck in traffic getting either into or out of a Government instillation.

Or you're living elsewhere in the Commonwealth laughing at the rest.

And you may as likely as not have a big "8" sticker on your vehicle.

Unless it's a Volvo.
