I got this e-mail yesterday from my sister. As I said to her, Vermont's motto should be "What state is that in?" (BTW, here it is spelled "Yup" not "Yep")

I did think it was cute when I first saw it.

No, you must be corrected on Virginia. Our motto is quite long ( I will separate them for easier comprehension ):

1: The tourist state: "Land of ignorant drivers in a rush to kill the locals to see old a$$ stuff that no one cares about".
2: We don't want WV back.
3: Virigina: "The worst Department of Transportation services in the US".
4: Virigina: Average age is 65 due to number of people moving here to die ( second only to Florida ).
5: Virigina: "Where the weather forecasts have a 90% chance of being wrong".
6: Virginia: "Pipeline for illicit substances/weapons" ( Interstate 95 ).
7: "Which armed services bases are they going to close down next"?
8: " We will be the first to be hit by a nuclear strike" ( All the aforementioned bases and so close to D.C. ).
9:" We apologize for Bruce Hornsby "and finally:

10: Commonwealth of Virgina  ( Virginia is a commonwealth state ) - An oxymoronic name here as wealth is not common.

Yeah, Virginia blows but atleast we are not..... ;)
