if I owned Hell and Texas...

Texas: clean, shiny paradise, thanks to a stringent anti-littering campaign that reached its peak with the inventive phrase, "Don't Mess With Texas." But now evil corporations and dastardly individuals are co-opting in for their own purposes, and *shudder* profiting from it. What's an angry state to do? Go after 'em, with all the vigilance of a drunken posse.

Funnier, though, are the other state and city slogans that were inspired by the ubiquitous Texas motto.
In Oklahoma, residents are urged to "Keep Our Land Grand." Bumper stickers in Knoxville, Tenn., proclaim, "Don't Throw Down on K-Town." And Cincinnati has gone with "Don't Trash the 'Nati."
Or, how about:

"Don't Dump on Trump" (New Jersey)
"Keep Your Piddle Awffa Mah Fiddle" (Kentucky)
"Get A ------- Trash Bag, ------!" (NY)
"Preserve Our State's Godly, Creepy Disinfected Demeanor" (Utah)

By default, we have a winner. Spit-polish your mirror, look in it, and smile a big, toothy smile.
