Categories: Texas

And by "care," we mean throw any odd -- the odder the better, it seems -- label on your farm's fruit and vegetable boxes. Texas, of course, had a big agricultural economy when all this was going on, so locally produced labels often contained some Lone Star love.

Here are 10 of the best.

9. When Gay Johnny Grew Up
