6 Word Motto for the US

Earlier today I was reading an article on the Freakonomics blog about picking a 6 word motto for the US.

In today's post, the author picked his top 5, but I was reading through the entries and I found several hilarious ones that he didn't pick. I was reading this at work and started laughing so hard that I had to stop. So, here are my favorites in the order that I read them:

1. Hubris: it’s not just for Greeks!
2. All your oil belong to us.
3. When in doubt, whip it out!
4. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Democracy.
5. That looks nice. It’s mine now.
6. It beats living in Soviet Russia.
7. America….at least we’re not Canada.
8. Do you want fries with that?
9. McDonalds! Walmart! Microsoft! Starbucks! Porn! Christmas!
10. Affordable or not, we’ll buy it.
11. America: bombing you, suing each other.
12. Luckily, our parents left your country.
13. Past performance doesn’t predict future results.
14. Quiet, or we’ll liberate you too!
15. One Nation, Under Canada, Above Mexico.
16. Kick your a$$, take your gas.

Ok I gave up.... I read the first 200 or so, and then realized that I wasn't even close to being done. There were over 1200 submissions!! Well, there's a sampling of the funniest (in my opinion).
