Jankin’ on the Hoosiers

So from now on, when you hear people proudly refer to themselves as “Hoosiers” you will know exactly what they’re referring to: an inquisitive, one-eared, hill-dwelling Ohio River contractor, large for his kind, who has a lot of trouble with pronunciation but does NOT have sex with caribou. Who WOULDN’T be proud?!

…and that almost sums it up. Go read the full article for more in-depth coverage.

Dave did forgot to mention, however, that Indiana has the absolute worst drivers in the history of the automobile.

The problem is this: Indiana has two things going for it, corn and the Indy 500. Corn is harvested and maintained not by Indy cars, but by tractors. Just about everyone from indiana grew up learning how to drive a tractor. This is not unusual in the midwest, but with the Indy 500 on TV (live or in re-runs) just about every day in Indiana, you have a serious problem. People who learned how to drive on a tractor, want to drive an indy car, but end up in a Ford Taurus.

This is not good. It’s much akin to going to standard suburban restaurant run by a guy whose parents owned a BBQ Pit, but watches Iron Chef every day. It’s just not pretty.
