The radio humorist Jean Shepard said that his father told him that. Of course with a stealth GPS module planted in your car or brain, it's a moot point nowadays.
"My favorite memory is after moving to VA in 1972 from LI NY, tuning in late at night to his WOR show and listening to him read the mottos that appeared on the states' license plates while a Sousa march played in the background."
That is truly classic Jean Shepard stuff!
