Pulling people out of the ditc...
So I'm behind someone from Alabama today, and their license plate says "Stars Fell On Alabama." What exactly does that mean?

And Louisiana used to be Sportmans Paradise, then The Pelican State, not it is Sportsmans Paradise again.

I know that Oklahoma used to be OK, but now they are Native American.

The last Texas plate I saw said Sesquentential. I guess they are proud to be old.

Missouri used to be the Show Me state, but I think too many of their drivers were getting flashed.

Minnesota was the Land of 10,000 Lakes, did someone actually count them? Or is this false advertising.

What other ridiculous state plates are there?

It's a song title. Alabama's slogan used to be "Heart of Dixie", but we can't have any mention of "Dixie" anymore because it "offends".

South Carolina - "Smiling Faces, Beautiful Places" - are the faces smiling because it's beautiful, or is it beautiful because everyone is smiling?

Alaska - "The Last Frontier" - except of course, Gene Roddenberry says that space is the final frontier. So who do we believe - a brilliant creative mind or a bunch of eskimos and polar bears?

I think California's should be "Land of the Rich and Plastic."

Or how about this: "We're so far Left we're Right."

New Jersey is "The Garden State" (yea....right!) Personally, I think it should be "Which Exit?"

North Carolina has "First in Flight" on their license tags.

No joke to insert, just stating the fact.

Judging from the people I have met from Missouri their tags should say..

The Show Me Again...Slowly State

Just kidding!

Pennsylvania used to be "The Keystone State". Now it is "www.pa@state.us.gov" or something like that.

There are actually over 15,000 but it doesn't have that nice "ring" to it.
