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

Who?

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

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

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

Joanne

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