Although I've come up with a few state slogans of my own, I've never managed to come up with enough for all fifty states. However, the other day as I was browsing the net working, I ran across this list. And I knew my readers would love it. So, here it is, with a few minor modifications by me (in order to keep this site family friendly) and a big thank you to JokesAndHumor.com for allowing me to post this list.

Okay Cindy, since I was born and raised in Jersey and still reside there I absolutely almost fell off my chair laughing. So did my daughter. These slogans are a riot.
New York, Kentucky Texas and Tennessee were funny also. Thanks again for making my day.:)

OK, In California, we all had palm trees in our front yard,orange trees in our back yard, and spent all of our free time at Disneyland, Yosemite or the beach. That's the impression of the rest of the world anyway. Love your list, and if people get miffed about their home state, you know must have hit close to the mark.
Keep us smileing!

Thanks for the laugh Cindy.

I don't think I can argue against any of those on the list. Fitting.
