Merlot is a color. Merlot is a grape. I suppose now the Brigham Young sort will be seen out burning barley fields.

Eurick was fine until an anonymous caller told the state that merlot was also an alcoholic beverage.

*sigh* What a wonderful thing to do. I'm sure this person is proud of himself. Tattle tale.

I applaud the state of Utah - this license plate is clearly a dangerous menace on the roads.
They really must have frig-all to do.

A few more intoxicants the good people of Utah might want to watch out for: Lettuce, Catnip, Mace & Nutmeg.

This is what happens when the 20-25% Mormon population occupies about 90% of the state legislature.

This is why our founding fathers had the wisdom to desire "separation of church and state". In at least 49 of the 50 states!
