"I could sure use some small, inexpensive, imported toys to cheer myself up."
Edith Jones,
Industrious Laborer
"High unemployment was understandable in 1983, as it was the Year of the Pig. But this is the Year of the Ox, a very robust creature, so there is no other explanation than Tennessee citizens’ shameful laziness."
Paul Harris,
Unjust Emissions Retrofitter
"Tennessee is the land of Elvis Presley and therefore will never be brought low by unemployment. Long live the American King!"
