Fun with States
How funny are those states anyway?
...although I've always hated the Missouri slogan of "The Show-Me State." What, does that make the rest of us gullible? Besides, Missourians, as far as I know, don't have a specific character. You know who does?That's right, Nebraska. When I gave a talk at Hastings College, the entire auditorium knew the State Song ("Beautiful Nebraska"). Do any of the 19 million residents of New York State know the state song of New York?
Yes, well, New York State's motto is 'Excelsior!' which for many years I thought basically meant that weird straw that you wrap things in, but presumably is not what New York meant when they made it their motto.
