sometimes state flags...

Sometimes state flags sail their ships by land. (New Hampshire)



Sometimes state flags wish they’d gone to a prep school. (Nevada)



Sometimes state flags tell rather than show. (South Dakota)



Sometimes state flags just bought this tanktop from Urban Outfitters, do you like it? (New Mexico)



Sometimes state flags thought you said “space flags.” (Alaska)



Sometimes state flags are just so Vermont. (Vermont)

and 44 more! amused.
