“Texas: Come for the adventure, stay for your wrongful execution”

“Texas: Come for the adventure, stay for your wrongful execution” is one of several politically incorrect state slogans sold by the Jerkass Clothing Company. The slogan has not been cited on many websites.

TEXAS
Come for the adventure… Stay for your wrongful execution.

I messed with Texas, and now I have a rash 
We’re moving into the home stretch here on Perfidy’s longest running series, alternative state slogans for alternate state people.  Today, we focus on Texas, a state that has, historically, been foremost in the republic for arrogance and misplaced judgments of its own competence.  Twice since independence Texas has not been part of the United States, a fact that is not well appreciated in light of Texans vehement protestations of patriotism.  Anyway, on to the ridicule and fun-poking:

The Beefstick State
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles
An execution a day keeps the prisons relatively empty
The Manhandle State
Swim to freedom!
The unconditionally affirmative frontier
Most, but by no means all, things are bigger in Texas
Better Behave, or We’ll Fry Your Ass
Because You Can Never Have Enough Churches
Come for the oppressive heat, stay for the flat dusty sameness
Texas, Schmexas
We Live to Annoy the Rest of the Country.
Enjoy Leaving!
More Mexico
Friendship, Except When Betrayed or Approached By Strangers
The Key To A Door You Don’t Want To Open

Our teenagers are the cutest!  Did I say that out loud?
Still proud of defeating Mexico
Oil, leather, cows, mustaches—it’s not what you think
