Umm....... Michigan's official-unofficial motto is "If you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes." mine is always "we have over 11,000 lakes, Minnesota sucks."

<< Kentucky: Five Million People; Fifteen Last Names >>


Geez, when will people learn. KY has become a progressive state with technology centers and and a fast moving economic base. Times and people have changed for the better. So too has the state motto:
























Kentucky: "Thank God for Alabama and Misissippi!"

Do you know why West Virginia's motto is "Almost Heaven"?
Because it is next to Virginia.
:p





And isn't Wisconsin's the "Eat Cheese or Die" state?

Dude, I have heard that weather motto for practically every state in the US (New England, New York and Kentucky especially). Everyone hates the weather.

Why doesn't Kentucky fall into Tennessee?
Because Indiana sucks and Tennessee blows.

I love that, "eat cheese or die." Reminds me of NH's motto "Live free or die," which gets my vote for the coolest.

North Carolina: Tobacco IS a vegetable

Come on, tobacco no longer has the power in NC. North Carolina: Sorry Ohio, they flew here first

You should have seen the one we did a month ago. We came up with all kinds of extra funny mottos. Should still be searchable.
