DSNY (Department of Sanitation New York) has the most aggressive slogan... and NYPD has the most dainty slogan and I find this endlessly funny. #nyc #newyork #nypd #dsny

@futurebird The sanitation slogan seems partially borrowed from Texas:

I always liked the take that the slogan "don't mess with texas" doesn't convey that texas is tough but more that it's ... unstable. And it needs space.

Kind of like texas has been going through a lot ... and just... please don't mess with it right now.
