New Jersey has the most toxic wasted dumps per capita...

California has the most lawyers per capita...

Know why?

New Jersey got first pick!


It's a joke!!!!

Texas tried to kill me, did a job in Fort Worth... had dinner at the flying saucer... asked if there was any live music... the sent us down to the black dog (IIRC)... it was open mike jazz night, great music, we shut the bar down (bad idea because we had to go to work the next morning) mostly college student and a few old jazz fans.. almost all smoking. could hardly see across the room!

New Jersey is pretty nice, you just have to go upstate a bit.

Buddy had a martial arts instructor who was Mr Norris's sparring partner. He always said you would rather have Chuck punch you than kick you, I always said I choose none of the above.

He's a karate champion. He'd kick you through a wall.

Sorry to disagree. South Jersey is absolutely beautiful. I was working down there, oh, about 20 years ago, and it really made me believe it was "The Garden State". It's too bad about the rest...

And I disagree with you. I am from NNJ and it's much prettier than the pines.

Plus we have better corn.:eek:

Well Tom, I too wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could (1968). And I like it just fine!

Chuck Norris invented the theory of relativity. When Einstein tried to steal it, Chuck roundhouse kicked him and turned him into Steven Hawking.

Might help.

I do this to dodge long red lights when I'm trying to cross a major road at a time of day that has pretty much nill traffic.

Here, we have the "Michigan left turn" which requires:
1). Turning right,
2). Accellerating up to highway speed in half a block while merging into the left lane(along with the former right-lane traffic passing you),
3). Quickly decellerating and positioning into a 1 1/2 car lane to wait(some people choose to make this a 3 car lane),
4). Pulling out into 2-lanes traffic to highway speeds while accellerating next to another vehicle(who may/may not decide he wants your lane). Attempt to merge right. People who adhere to dedicated red lights and "no turn on red" signs are to be honked at and pushed into the intersection.

Don't get me started on multiple(3-4) round-a-bouts.

I think the nice places in the northern part of New Jersey being referred to are located in Maine!
