LOL! You tell ‘em! NJ is the armpit of the nation.
Under the weight of all the participation trophies.
Wowser!
Arkansas! Where they invented the TOOTHbrush!
Anywhere else it would have been called a teethbrush
I try my hardest not to lose money. Keep it safe and don’t carry around much. OTOH, Romans lost money left and right.
Maybe the palace was another victim of the comet of 572?
Sorry, 562.
“Isn’t the entire state of West Virginia at least a third cousin of each other?”
No, that’s you idiots in the liberal areas. You idiots sodomize each other and too stupid to figure out what bathroom to use.
That Taj Mahal of Britain looks like dirt to me.
I prefer the one in India.
Hey, hey ... just because someone lives in the presence of many nitwits that doesn’t mean that they are one.
That said, I don’t know how you define the difference between Yankee and Damn Yankee, which is rather fluid from person to person, so I realize that distinction may be influencing your replies.
I’ve had dreams where I’m digging mostly recent coins and bills out of muddy ground or from some culvert. Since that sort of thing never actually happens to me I don’t know why it always seems like it’s so real.
Y'uns still are.
That’s why this boy, born in the Rocky Mountains, married a girl born in Dallas, TX.
While spending most of my weekends and all of my summers growing up in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin I had a local, adult friend who had moved with his wife from Texas in the late 1940's to one of the VERY small river towns in SW Wisconsin. My friend died in the early 2000's but he mentioned to me that he had lived in the area for almost 60 years but he was still usually referred to as "the guy from Texas".
Close community.
Boadiciea, Bath and Beyond.
A Yankee comes to visit and then returns home. A Damn Yankee comes to visit and stays.
The Taj Majal is a tomb for the kings wife, and it’s very small. Unless they’re adding the courtyard around it.
WOW - what a smug ugly comment..

You’re thinking of New Jersey.
