Ya, thats it. Thanx. Fodors has no sense of humor.

The one on here was funnier. Some of the motto's were different. I wish I could see that one again.

That post first made the rounds on the internet about 5 years ago. Seems to be resurrected every few months.

Who? Feb 22nd, 2002 02:07 AM

Glad someone resurrected you, Kay... and get someone to do your makeup right, okay? Very frightful indeed.<BR>

The state mottos has made the email rounds, but every time I see it I get a chuckle. I also enjoy the one about the correspndence between the Smithsonian Institute and the man who keeps submitting rare archeological "finds". What a hoot!

aaa Feb 22nd, 2002 07:29 AM

Funny--but I always thought Wisconsin's motto was "Come smell our dairy air."

Joanne Feb 22nd, 2002 09:51 AM

And I had thought that Wisconsin's was "Eat cheese or die."
