All states have slogans they post on signs and literature to hopefully lure people to their state, either as new residents or visitors. But the slogans are too non-specific. In Nebraska the possibilities are endless. I would like to know, before entering the state, some of the things I might expect to happen to me while there. Then I could make a truly informed decision.
Here are some more specific slogans, based on things that actually happened to me in some states I have visited (or lived in):
CALIFORNIA... you could expect to possibly see naked old people on the beach.
UTAH... you might get your credit card and car keys stolen from you by a pedophile.
NEBRASKA... you could possibly gain a couple of pounds.
IOWA... you might accidentally lock your 2-year-old in the car at a rest area.
MISSOURI... you maybe will break your two front teeth in the swimming pool.
INDIANA... you might be asked to dress up as a man for a high school musical.
ILLINOIS... your car could break down on the interstate and you might have to carpool with a drunk lady to a hotel (but in all fairness you might not know she is drunk when you accept the ride).
LOUSIANA... you will experience heartburn.
My slogan for Nebraska would have to be: you might possibly gain 50+ pounds! (In all fairness, it did take several years!)
ReplyDeleteBahahaha! I want to read that essay you wrote about the time the van broke down Illinois. It was priceless.
