4. Thats sad!

Either someone on that road crew was dyslexic or really under educated to misspell "school". We need to really improve our education people. Let this be a lesson to all of us:Don't be that guy on the road crew and definitely don't be the "Get a brain morains" guy. Poor spelling is not kewl!

5. Our N.C. Educators are Brilliant--Our Painters Less So

In North Carolina, we feel free to coin new words, just as Sarah Palin does routinely.

"That's so shcool!" (Sort of a combination of sh*tty and cool--it means the place sucks, but you should be happy to be there.)

6. After living in the Banana republic

called North Carolina for seven years. I came to the conclusion that the average high school graduate, had in reality, around a sixth grade education. I'm probably being to generous with that. Sure NC has a couple of good colleges, it would seem that most of the graduates don't stick around for long after getting out. Research Triangle Park was built, but had to be run by outsiders in order for it to prosper. NC is a great place to be from !!
