Dear Alaska,

Nobody cares. We can't even hear you from all the way up there.

Love, Texas

Kidding (mostly)! Seriously though, I don't often hear Texans brag about the size of our state. We tend to be much prouder of the whole defeating Mexico and becoming our own country thing. I think Texas and Alaska should stick together and pick on the little states, but that's just me.

It sells extremely well not only to Alaskans but to Visitors to Alaska as well. Yes, even our friends from Texas buy the shirt at a rate of 15 to 20 every week all summer long!
This shirt has sold to folks from all over the world. From Great Britain to New Zealand. Visitors from Europe, Scandanavia, So. Africa, Australia, Canada, South America and from 38 of the 50 state have purchased this shirt. The overwhelming majority of these purchases are made with humor and enthusiasm!
It's always great to hear someone gets a kick out of my design. That's what it was designed for: to give people a chuckle!

Here are a few interesting facts:
~Alaska is 2.4 times the size of Texas (424.9 X the size of Rhode Island)
~Alaska is larger than Texas, Calif. & Mont. COMBINED! That's Right!
~If you put a scale map of Alaska over a map of the U.S., Alaska would stretch from Disneyland, all the way to Disney World.

An old Eskimo man told me: "Mike - you know it's true; if you divide Alaska in half, Texas would become the 3rd largest state.
BUT! he said with a smile: If you wait 'til the tide goes out, you could divide Alaska in 3rds and make Texas the 4th largest state!"

Thanks for laughin'

Enlighten me please, why since 1959?
I know I'm missing something here.

Alaska attained statehood in '59.

My bad.

Mike....where can I find the above tee shirt. When we were in Alaska last fall the bus driver pointed out a tee shirt store in Anchorage that had your "Alaska pissin' off Texas for 59 years" tee shirt and said how much she liked it. Unfortunately we weren't able to stop there. We looked for it at every port our ship stopped at, but couldn't find it. Can it be ordered from you or do you know where it is sold?

Thanks,

Peggy

I am really surprised there aren't a lot more pissed off Texans in this thread. They are sensitive people, and way too proud of something they did not accomplish.
