A lot of my readers would know better than I would just how accurate
these State motto's are but I'm pretty sure about the one below.

The District of Columbia
The Work-Free Drug Place


Sunset Thoughts.


A Kiwi was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a
sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. Looking around, he
realised that they were stranded on a deserted island.


After being there a while, he got into the habit of taking his two
animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sun set.


One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus
clouds the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance.


As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the
lonely Kiwi. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around
it.


But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until
the man took his arm from around the sheep.


After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together,
but there was no more cuddling.


A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck.


The only survivor was a beautiful young woman, the most beautiful
woman the man had ever seen.


She was in a pretty bad way when he rescued her and he slowly nursed
her back to health.


When the young maiden was well enough, he introduced her to their
evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening red sky, cirrus
clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance.


Pretty soon, the Kiwi started to get "those feelings" again.


He fought the urges as long as he could, but he finally gave in and,
realising he now had the opportunity, leaned over to the young woman,
cautiously, and whispered in her ear,

"Would you mind taking the dog for a walk?"

Great mottoes, Peter. Wonder what they would make for the Australian states and territories. Might be something to think up - you seem to have a very fertile imagination! hehe.

Rachel said...

LOL at the joke!! Not the ending I was expecting!!

Lee said...

Walker said...

HA HA HA
So that's what the mean by getting a little woolly LOL
And that Clinton, hey is that Monica's dog by any chance ?

Have a good one Peter

I think I know
2004 gov. race
the republican dino rossi was declared winner by less than 300 votes out nearly 3 million

so there was a recount.
his margin shrunk to a win of 42 votes

The demo candicate C Gregoire raised $750,000 for another recount. The count was going against her increasing Rossi's lead once more.

So the King county Council "discovered" more than 500 "improperly disqualified ballots"...
which put Gregoire in the lead.

Once she had the lead -- she was declared the winner,.

That is what I think the "fraud" reference is about.

Kansas, as big as you thnk.

Hilarios joke. The Kiwi could have been a Texan. lol

Jamie Dawn said...

I've lived in five of those states, and I must say, those sayings are right on target!

The photo of Clinton with the Monica dog is terribly funny.

Have a nice week!!

Jim said...

Thanks for the mottos, Peter. I couldn't remember very many of those but Vermont is my fave.
Vermont consists mostly of hippies who didn't grow up. We spent an afternoon in Montpelier and verified that.
The rest are ski bums just waiting for the snow.
Maybe that makes them liberal?

Yep, that Monica sure is the right dog for ol' Bill.

In my opinion, the State Motto's are right on. I loved Michigan's in particular. Heaven knows when Canada might decide to invade.

As to the beach romance. . . well I remain without comment but I have a silly grin on my face. Can't wait to repeat that one to friends.

All very funny. Cheers Margaret
