Seems like too many already.

Behind in your rent, work on your NO accent.

It was in NO wasn't it, that a man said his wife took a taxi to NY to go shopping and was killed in WTC!

Have to add Phoenix and possibly Tucson to that list. 1000 are enroute.

Do you remember the old candid camera bit:

"Sorry Texas is full, you'll have to wait for someone to leave."
