This is *very* funny if you're from Saskatchewan, or have ever been to Sasktchewan, or know of Saskatchewan! :)
As you know, Saskatchewan recently chose the official Saskatchewan
license plate slogan which reads "Land of the Living Skies". A contest was
held by the Edmonton Sun for people to send in their entries of what the
Saskatchewan license plate should read. These were some of the entries:
Saskatchewan - It's a Dry Cold
Tell-tale signs that you've lived in Saskatchewan too long:
Saskatchewan - Flat Out Great!
Saskatchewan - Eat Our Dust!
Saskatchewan - We're Gettin' Smartur!
Saskatchewan - Cruise Control Heaven
Saskatchewan - Land of the Leaving
Saskatchewan - Meet You in Alberta
Saskatchewan - A Place Where No Man Can Leap to His Death
Saskatchewan - Manitoba's Evil Twin
Saskatchewan - See it all standing on a Chair
Saskatchewan - You've Arrived in Saskatchewan. Sorry About That.
Saskatchewan - Yours to Drive Through
Saskatchewan - We're All Related!
Saskatchewan - Through the Straw Curtain

16. You overhear someone explain how he installed a counter binder on his combine's pulley-driven wheat flattener with a square head hydrostatic coupler, using a universal bushing degreaser, and you can't believe he left only 5 inches of clearance between the kernel rotor and the straw-feed regulator - the idiot!
