51st State

So, anyway, apologies to residents of Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wyoming– the states we couldn’t name off the top of our heads. Columbia, New England, Philadelphia, Wichita and Baltimore aren’t states. They just have delusions of grandeur.

And before any American visitors get smug, I challenge them to name as many European countries as possible.
