United States of Shame (or "We're No. 1! We're No. 1!")

What's your state the tops in? Here in Kentucky, we're the No. 1 state for cancer. WOOOO!

Of course, as a fellow Kentuckian told me "Huh. We're stuck between Nerd-dom (Ohio) and death (Tennessee)."

The story of my life.

 

California: air pollution? I thought for sure we were going to be No. 1 in Honda Civics with tinted windows.

 

Wisconsin: Binge Drinking. I believe that.

 

There has to be a prelude to fucking dead animals, right?

 

No. Why?

 

Kentucky leads in cancer because no one got the memo in that state that smoking kills you.

 

Nah. We got the memo. Just couldn't read it.

 

"Longest daily commute"? Really? I've got another one for New York: "Most boring thing to be the worst at."

 

Hmmmm. I've got unemployment, bad drivers and bestiality. That's an interesting combination.

Actually, I'll blame my forebears, seeing as I've never actually lived in any of those states myself!

 

That's cause we're just that fucking good at everything else!

 

Fucking A right.

I think the poll sample consisted only of people who work in the the New York metro area and state workers who live more than 12 miles from Albany.

 

Texas: high school graduation rate. I can't help but wonder if that has helped influence Louisiana's gonorrhea problem??

Maybe it was a factor in the Cowboys' downfall this season, too??
