Interesting question to ask

#1 Postby TexasStooge » Thu Jun 09, 2005 12:23 pm

Last night, my mom asked me a question that got me stumped at first, but after a few minutes she told me the answer.

Even her co-workers were stumped with this question or riddle:

What US State's abbreviation has nothing in it?

I'll give you guys a chance to answer, and the real answer will come on Saturday. If some of you posters get it correct, I'll PM ya.

If you say "MT," it sounds like "empty" -- as in "has nothing in it." :)

Here's the answer to the question:

If you answered Montana, you're absolutely correct! The state's initials are MT. Empty...Get it?
