Tennesse: Much more than moonshine & monkey trials
That was WAY too easy. I resisted "Bibles in science class and guns in funeral homes."

A little off topic, but I remember a few years ago when Knoxville (either spurred by the Chamber or the tourist and sports corp.) were looking for a new slogan for Knoxville. A former county commissioner suggested "Knoxville -where America stops for gas." Another favorite I heard was "Gateway to Gatlinburg." I always got a chuckle out of those.

Whilst in the twilight of my package phase of my career, a former boss was riding with me and we were marveling at all the retirees that moved here. The reasons were obvious, they don't have to pay taxes for education, healthcare or social services because, well, we don't do those here like a first world country. As we began comparing our pay rates to those of us that come here for their golden years he turned to me and asked,
"Where are we supposed to go?"
