Harvey at IMAO has posted a series of funny “facts” about Massachusetts. Well, they’re not exactly facts but they are funny.

Here are some of my favorites:

The state flag of Massachusetts consists of a white field emblazoned with a fat senator waving a gin bottle while driving off a bridge.

The state motto of Massachusetts is “The Yankees Suck!”

The state flower of Massachusetts is the gin blossom, which makes Ted Kennedy’s face a protected state wilderness area.

The state song of Massachusetts is “The Theme From Brokeback Mountain”.

The first subway system was built in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1897. The subway cars were originally propelled by lashing an Irishman to the front and dangling a potato in front of him.

The Massachusetts tourism slogan is, “Man, woman, goat - whatever - if you can fit it into a wedding dress, you can marry it here.”
