New Hampshire

When is six miles really NOT six miles

Coming down I-93 south through Windham New Hampshire earlier, I noticed one of the "smart work zone" message boards for the widening work displaying "NO DELAYS TO EXIT 1" / "MASS S/L (means state line) 6 MILES".

But what really caught my attention was that this message board was placed right next to a permanent milepost indicating "South 93 MILE 4.8".

And of course, Murphy won again - this was the morning I left my camera at home.

That's the explanation being given by state Rep. Michael Rodrigues, whose car - emblazoned with his House of Representatives plates - a Herald reader photographed at a New Hamphsire state liquor store. Where, of course, they don't charge sales taxes, such as the ones Rodrigues voted to increase.

In New Hampshire, a topless woman walking down the street with a gun strapped to her hip would only be arrested for going topless.

Overmatter reports a New Hampshire toll collector (oh, right, New Hampshire doesn't mind tolls on its borders - as long as it's the one collecting the money) accused her of counterfeiting a $5 bill:

... It was New Hampshire, so I wasn't surprised when she didn't smile back, but I was taken aback when she didn't give me my change right away. Instead, she held my bill up to the light in the tollbooth. "This looks awfully thin for a five-dollah bill," she said. ...

What's wrong with New Hampshire that they think anybody would go to the bother of counterfeiting $5 bills?

It's all that New Hampshire in his blood! Also, a good reason to move New Hampshire far, far away, so we never have to see their political ads ever again.
