...letters declaring TRENTON MAKES. THE WORLD TAKES. Our mascot is the devil. Jersey is short, tough and looking for a fight. That's because everyone wants our women. Sure, they pretend to want the California girl, all blond and Barbie and demurely flirtatious. But the Jersey girl, with her big hair and stone-washed jeans, takes Barbie's lunch money.
