I was looking at these with my granddaughter tonight and thought it was a good way to share a laugh. One from each state although there's a couple that had two they were so funny. Some are very very old, some not so old but just as funny. Remember, these are our lawmakers doing their ...... ummmm job.
Enjoy!!
