Captain Pedantry

Not really Ironic, but still funny: Oh the irony: New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die” License Plates Made By Prisoners

Which made me briefly look through the list of US State Mottos in an attempt to come up with something truly ironic, and all I got was that a lot of them are strange; Or they are dumb, or they are strange and dumb:
  • Puerto Rico: "Juan es su nombre" ("John is his name")
  • Maryland: Fatti maschi, parole femmine (Manly deeds, womanly words)
  • Maine: Dirigo (Latin, I direct)
etc.

  • When I lived in Idaho in the late '80s it was "Famous Potatoes".

    And it was against the law to obscure, or creatively modify, the motto in any way.
