This is amazing! I feel the need to share...

So this morning I posted a list of semi-funny "State Mottos" on the "Laughter is the best medicine" thread. Someone had forwarded them to me and so I just posted them onto the thread for others to enjoy. Pretty much all of the states (including mine) are insulted but, hey, it's a JOKE thread!

Anyway, one of the mottos was:

So here's a guy:
a.) with no sense of humor,
b.) hanging out on a joke thread,
c.) posting responses to jokes(!)
d.) who feels compelled to correct an obvious typo

OK, I feel better now...
