I heard a news story this week that our esteemed Gov. is upset that NH does not have a true "symbol" that people associate with the State. He noted that Maine has the "Lobster" and Vermont has the "Cow", but poor NH has nothing.

(as a side note: I wonder with all of the turmoil in Concord - budget problems, FRM scandal, Liquor Commission scandal, why Gov. is spending his time worrying about a symbol?)

Anyway, I think it's time we send the Gov. some suggestions for symbols that represent NH. I have a couple of my own, feel free to post yours:

1) Just use the map of Massachusetts - I think this represents NH perfectly now. Perhaps also the lake chart manufacturers can now change the shape of Winnipesaukee to the shape of Massachusetts. It would fit perfectly!

2) A baby bottle and diaper - we are now the ideal nanny state.

3) An umbilical cord - same as # 2: the infant needs someone to plug the cord into.

4) A kayak or blowboat - reasons that need no explanation.

I also have a slogan he can use to promote the tourism that NH relies so much upon: "Come to NH - the NO FUN state"
