There is a contest going on. Most of the mottos are really depressing.

Can't we do better?

Some of my favorites:

"Land of the six word motto”

"Just like Canada, with Better Bacon"

"Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Bush. Clinton?"

I guess the most depressing thing was the number of mottos submitted with more or less than six words. Can't people count anymore?

I think some people submitted six syllables instead.

Good one, Mickfinn. I like the double meaning.
