New Mexico is the only state to have a “state smell”
A bunch of grade school kids said that roasting green chile should be our state smell so their teacher had them write our state Congress and in a shocking display they all came together, wrote the bill, and passed it in a matter of weeks

You do not have to say illegal sentences but you can definitely think them.
Think an extremely illegal sentence right now, in the privacy of your own thoughts. Bask in it.
