Do us Jersey people really curse that much that it even ends up in our motto?
:confused:

Pretty good. New Hampshire's is not that much different than it's real one which is, unless I'm mistaken: "Live free or die."

California's actual motto is "Eureka!" Short, and to the point. :D

ncof300d 10-13-2006 06:47 AM

I expected Ohio to be........ask us about our coin collection for Workers' Compensation. (and the Repulican candidate next month for govenor, Blackwell, was part of the whole mess)

Larry Delor 10-13-2006 10:34 AM

New Florida motto:
 
Snowbirds: The new white meat.

Gilly 10-13-2006 10:41 AM

I thought Iowa's motto was "Gateway to Nebraska"?
Wisconsins is actually short and to the point like Cali's: "Forward"' Maybe it should be "Chicagos first line of defense from Iowa, Minnesota, and Yoopers".

TX76513 10-13-2006 10:44 AM

I would have to agree with Mississippi's in comparison to the actual motto of "It's like coming home", which has no relevance.

cmac2012 10-13-2006 12:16 PM

I can imagine the committees where a state motto is chosen must be a tough gig.

Reminds me of a billboard that used to be up (probably still is) on the highway by the town of George, Washington (yes, it's true) that said:

GEORGE, WASHINGTON. IF YOU LIVED HERE, YOU'D BE HOME NOW.

Benzadmiral 10-13-2006 01:20 PM

Louisiana?
 
Louisiana's real motto is "Third World . . . and Proud of It!" (Or maybe that should be the one for New Orleans alone.)

I used to know a guy who had a T-shirt that said this. Funny thing, he was actually one of the people who tracked their numbers.

It was a joke, of course.

As for the New Jersey motto, if I'm not mistaken there was a contest to come up with a replacement for "New Jersey and you, perfect together," and the one listed here was actually a contest entry.

It should be "Where real men can't pump their own gas."

Why should we? I use cologne every single day, why ruin it with the smell of gas or diesel?

It's so much easier to pull up and say: "Fill it up super please." :D
You guys are just jealous because you have to do it yourself. I just whip out cash and press the button for the fuel latch to open. Plus the gas attendants always make you look good if you are with a girl. They walk up to the car and tell you how awesome it looks or what a nice girl you have in your car. It's a win win situation.

TheDon 10-13-2006 10:17 PM

FL state motto " one , two, three, seven, twentyseventyjillion, four,.. .wait do it over i think we missed a chad"

I'm off to study...i've been procrastinating all this time and I have midterms on MONDAY.

Hatterasguy 10-13-2006 11:17 PM

I hate having to fuel up in NJ, because I can't pump my own fuel. I will go out of my way and pay the higher fuel prices in CT to avoid this.

I don't want some middle school drop out touching my car.

If they have been doing it for years then they are "specialized" in their field. They can pump gas better than anybody out there, perhaps better than you as well. :cool:

It's just so dang hard to stick the tube in the hole, swipe the credit card and *gasp* squeeze the handle! :eek:

But then you smell afterwards....it's like touching a public phone or something. Can you imagine how many germs are on that nozzle looking thing...lol :eek:

I would hate to pump my gas. Last time I was in upstate NY some girl pumped it for me. I played stupid and she came out and did it....she was cute as hell too. :stupid:

When I was in Montana one time I did the same thing and the girls thought it was adorable...she even told me herself. They actually have young girls working at gas stations in Montana. Over here they have a bunch of Indians and Muslims running the show.

Hatterasguy 10-13-2006 11:27 PM

Don't mind the smell of diesel fuel, besides it goes away real fast. Just have to be carefull not to drip on the loafers!:D

Certain things I just rather do myself, to prevent stupid screw ups. Thats one of them.

They can also pump your diesel car full of gasoline, while looking right at the "Diesel Fuel Only" sticker. Guess how I know that...

When the little turd did that did you almost beat the **** out of him?
I would have been furious...

Palangi 10-13-2006 11:40 PM

The dickhead threatened to call the cops on me because I refsed to pay for it. I told him if I drove away with it misfueled, he would be paying for a new engine. When the station owner (daddy) got wind of it, he was about ready to kick junior's azz. Mobil station on Route 17 in Ramsey, long time ago.

I know exactly where that is...that's like 10 minutes from my house. I live right in those neck of the woods.... :)

Palangi 10-13-2006 11:58 PM

I don't think the same station is there any more. It was sort of a truck stop type of place. This would have been about 1981 or 82.

Instead of 'Maryland, The Free State' it should be 'Maryland, The Police State'.
