Flash 55 – Where the Dead Bodies Are

04  I live in lovely New Jersey. What exit? Exit 5.

The state motto is “The Garden State” but there are few gardens or farms left. The famous Jersey tomatoes are grown in hot houses.

We have chemical and drug companies, the pine barrens and the Jersey Devil. 

Oh, and swamps where we bury the bodies.

    I won't say anything negative about New Jersey, esepcially since you've pretty much covered it.

    Interesting 55.
    (Who knew NJ has swamps?)

    I know now why our Houston cement plant sends so many sacks full up to New Jersey.
    Tie one onto a leg and burial is quickly done. The Hudson R. is filling up I hear.
