We also don't pay income tax in Texas, one of the few states to boast that distinction.
Oh, and we're the source of more good sayin's than any other place I know - like - a heavy rain is often known as "a frog-strangler" or "a turd floater" - "opened up a worm farm" means you died - "hotter than a fur coat in Marfa" means, well, Marfa's pretty damn hot in shorts......- "windier than a fifty pound bag of lips", "so dusty the rabbits are diggin' holes six foot in the air", "he could talk a gate of its hinges", "he's got a ten gallon mouth"...well, you get the idea. We've got a sayin' fer everthin. And when something is really big, we say it's "big as all hell and half of Texas besides". :-)
My friend, the state of New Jersey was pivotal in the formation of our sacred union of states. The most viscious fighting of the Revolutionary War took place there. I have a lot of business colleagues from Jersey and Tony Soprano lives there.

"All hat and no cattle" (big talker with no substance)
"Uglier than the north end of a south-bound mule"
(I don't live in Texas, but I've been there.)
There's three great things right there.
