A friend of mine lived in Kansas City and his family was going to move to Cincinnati. Everyone in KC said, "There's nothing in Ohio but farms!" When he moved to Cincy, everyone said, "KC? There's nothing there but farms!"

To people here in WA, everything east of Idaho is "back east." Like even South Dakota! They don't believe me when I call Cleveland the Midwest.

I went to high school in southern Oregon. Even here in Washington, people say, "So, you were near Portland, right?" Try five hours by car!

Everyone still thinks grunge is still alive in Washington. Actually, we gave it up about when it stopped being popular, like everyone else.

I used to live in Michigan. "Where on the hand?" I wasn't on the hand, I was in the UP! "The what? You mean there's another part of Michigan?"

There was a commercial for a Canadian beer a while back, but I can't remember which one. Anyway, these Canadian guys are out drinking and they run into some other guys, I think they're British. The Brits look tough and want to beat them up, but then they ask, "You know (someone) in Canada?" So the Canadians look at each other, and you can tell they're just faking it, but they're like, "Oh, yeah! She's cool," and they all end up hanging out and drinking together.
