| OT (joke) The Vermont Department Of Tourism
Vermont seems to be on everyone's vacation wish list. This list of rules will be handed to each person entering the state. (Note: Vehicles from New Jersey, New York City and Connecticut will receive two copies.)
1. That slope shouldered farm boy you are snickering at did more work before breakfast than you will do all week at the gym.
2. It's called a "dirt road." No matter how slowly you drive, you're going to get dust on your BMW. I have a four-wheel drive because I need it. Now drive or get out of the way.
3. We all started hunting and fishing when w e were nine years old. Yeah, we saw Bambi. We got over it.
4. Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get your butt kicked, by our women.
5. Pull your pants up, and turn your hat around. You look like an idiot.
6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time!
7. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Order a two-pound lobster and steamers. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey.
8. Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar and a long spoon.
9. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice.
10. So you have a sixty thousand dollar car. We're real impressed. We have quarter-million dollar skidders to pull logs out of the woods.
11. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red, and we may even stop when it's yellow.
12. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks because they want to. So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute.
13. Yeah, we eat lobster, scallops, clams and haddock too. If you really want sushi and caviar, it's available at the bait shop.
14. There are pigs and there are cows. That's what they smell like. Get used to it. Don't like it? I- 91 & 89 go two ways... Get on the Southbound Lane !
15. "Opening day" refers to the first days of fishin' and deer season'. They are religious holidays. You can get breakfast at the church.
16. So what if every person in every pickup waves? It's called being friendly. Understand the concept?
17. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards. It spooks the fish.
18. Chowder is supposed to be white. Don't even think of asking for red chowder until you are somewhere safely south of Bennington.

| The ad slogans and the mottoes have always been two different things... our license plates still say "Live Free or Die", but that isn't the state's ad slogan...

1 edit | reply to Dominokat That is Maine's slogan, Kat... take a look at the Wiki link.
I see that sign (or one just like it) a couple of times a week on I-95 when I cross the high rise bridge at Portsmouth and get into Kittery... 
edit: bad spelling -- "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crispy and good with catsup." |

| reply to Vtblues It has been a while dominokat, I thought it was still vacationland. The joke was sent to me by a relative. I now suspect that it may have been stolen even though everything fits for Vermont too, except the slogan. -- HughesNet/DW 6000/Home Plan/.74 dish/Galaxy 16 (099 °W)1110.0 MHz/Win XP Home SP2/ P4 2.26 Gig 1 Gig of Ram
