I concede...in hindsight you are correct. The statement doesn't fully cover our tax code here in Maryland.

Unhappy

Virginia motto doesn't make any cents to me because I'm not a government stiff. A state motto should at least make scents.

Not really complaining, just don't understand the in you window and wanted to put in my two sents.

Indiana

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18
inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will
swim by, you might live in Indiana.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you
might live in Indiana.

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the
year, you might live in Indiana.

If someone in a store offers you assistance & they don't work there,
you might live in Indiana.

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his
forehead, you might live in Indiana.

If you have ever worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might
live in Indiana.

If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live
in Indiana.

If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who
dialed a wrong number, you might live in Indiana.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Hoosier WHEN:
1. Vacation means going north or south on I 65 for the weekend.
2. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from heat to AC in the same day and back again.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging
blizzard, without flinching.
6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events including
weddings.
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both
unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how
to use them.
9. You design your kids Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
10. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled
with snow.
11. You know all 5 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, road
construction, & It's Hot.
12. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to
your blue spruce.
13. Down south means Kentucky to you.
14. A brat is something you eat.
15. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.
16. You go out to a tailgate party every Friday.
17. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
18. You find 0 degrees a "little chilly".
19. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them
to all your Indiana friends. (What's not to understand???)

The Tennessee motto should have been:

OUR FAMILY TREES LOOK LIKE CIRCLES
