Humorist, Dave Barry often writes about official state mottos, flowers, etc. I recall a column he once wrote for the Miami Herald in which he was putting forth an argument as to why Miami should be the 51st state. Included in his column were the official Miami state bird: "The stray bullet"; the official Miami state fish: "The Square Grouper"*. The rest of his logic was equally hysterical. I practically fell off the couch laughing while reading that column those many years ago.












* For those not familair with Florida "marine life", the Square Grouper is a bale of marijuana washing ashore
