The Majestic Wyoming Quarter

I’m not quite the philatelist that I should be, but I play one on TV. But I do show an interest in the currency that my fine nation stamps out for me to squander on cheese fries and soda pop. Every state gets to design their own quarter to reflect their states history. They all choose euphemistic images to depict and, perhaps a saying to grace the silver plated disc. It’s a formula that has worked almost 50 times.
Today I found a Wyoming quarter in my pocket, isn’t she lovely. They decided to reflect the states qualities in the image they chose. There really is NOTHING in Wyoming other than closeted homosexuals who abuse large farm animals, wheehaw, Brokeback Currency. Thankfully they didn’t do a “me too!” quarter with mountains on it. If your state has mountains in it, they are probably on your quarter.
And what about their tag line, “The Equality State”, I don’t know about that. I don’t think there has ever been a civil rights challenge in the state, nor an economic one. The only challenge to Wyoming is not coming to an early death from boredom while driving across it.
Anyway, this quarter sucks.
