That's pretty damn funny.

"Oh ****" in 48 of 50 states... only Kentucy was different? What's
wrong with this picture?

Hmmm.. 48 + 1 = 49.
Which state has no pickups or SUVs, drivers that can't talk,
no fatal crashes, or no US cars?

Is it Ohio, where the last words we
You mean if we invest in these old coins, we can actually make money for the
state?
Cool, let's go play golf. You're buyin'.

Or Wisconsin:
Can you reach back there and hand me that hunk of cheese?
No, just the 3-pounder will do...

Or California:

No-No-No-No,,

The last 4 words spoken by 97.8% of all rednecks;

Hey Y'all, Whatch This!

Tom in KY, seen it done, that's the way it was. You can't hold a beer
and kickstart your antique Komasocky dirt bike! And when your in your
biga$$ 4-by, there are cup holders all over the place. Sheesh! Come to
Kentucky and get educated.

JOAT - I know you to be accurate in most instances but I'm reasonably
sure that you meant West Virginia, rather than Kentucky.

Now, way OT....

Nothing really to do with car wrecks. More like a train wreck in state
government.
Our illustrious gov, Bob Taft, (of the presidential Tafts,) saw fit to
install and retain folks who
thought it would be ok for the Burreau of Workmen's Comp (if I recall
correctly) to invest in
rare coins as part of their portfolio. Croney-ism reared its ugly head,
coins were unaccounted
for, flights were taken to Florida with haste, buddies made millions,
campaign contributions
flowed, and headlines were made. Google for: Noe, coins, Ohio, BWC for
additional info.

Shortly after this, Mr. Taft pleaded guilty in a court of law for accepting
golf outings at
the expense of others, without reimbursing them and without disclosing said
fact
on his ethics disclosure forms. Oops. Guilty as charged. Google: Taft,
golf, guilty.

So, sort of the political equivalent of "Now, watch this drive..."

Now, back to your regularly scheduled newsgroup...
