My 365, Day 175 - Welcome to Alabama, Part IV
This is the final entry in my examination of the spirit of Alabama as embodied at the northernmost welcome center in the state. As we learned yesterday, Alabamians have a mixed legacy with regard to intellect. On one hand, we designed and built the rockets that sent men to the moon. On the other, we don't always come off as the brightest lot when it comes to little things like grammar.
However, no matter how dumb we may seem, we always assume others are even less intelligent. How else to explain the labeling of this receptacle? Clearly some employee of the highway department believed anyone coming from the North (and by North, I mean from Tennessee up) would be too stupid to recognize this as a trash can. Maybe we should change the state motto to: "Alabama. We dare defend our rights, because we may be dumb, but not as dumb as you." App: Lo-Mob with Photocard 3 filter.
