Sometimes they have Miss Puerto Rico? My only hope is that they won't join the union, otherwise, we would have a super weird flag with 51 stars.
I've met someone who thought Alaska was an island. She had no idea that you could drive through Canada without riding any water ferry.
You know, Hawaii and Alaska always float around the contiguous 48 states in the map.
And don't get me started about Iowa. Half of the people I've met down here thought that we produced potatoes, and the other half thought that I was talking about Ohio, but I just happened to be the dumba$$ who mispronounced my own state. ARGH.
