Haha, another good one!  The answer, for those who maybe don't know, has 
to do with how the "Interstate" highway system is funded (federally, but 
with some kind of money-sharing between states).

Something else that I find funny is how "interstate" has become a noun 
in the English language.  For example, you might say on the phone: "Yep, 
I just got on the Interstate and I'll be there in an hour".  ;-)
