Let’s Make Fun of a State: Rhode Island

Indian wars, clams, costume jewelry, and coffee milk. That’s Rhode Island.

The next in the series of “Let’s Make Fun of a State” should be Texas or California, but we are going to do Rhode Island.

You’re disappointed? I understand. Who doesn’t want to make fun of Texas and California! I’ll give you a sneak preview to help you endure the wait: Californians believe that the soul resides in the glovebox of their car. Really. That’s why they don’t eat in their cars. Texans, on the other hand, believe that their “vehicle” is its own spiritual entity and, deep in their heart of hearts, think that they are “riding the bull” when they get behind the wheel of a 2015 Honda Fit.

Did I mention that I don’t know anything about, and have seldom been to, these states I make fun of?

While those two big states are clearly on the docket, we are going to do Rhode Island next. Heather Nann and Todd Hannula 🤓 have Rhode Island connections, and discussions of Rhode Island and popped up in the comments of posts like this, so I think the universe is pointing to Rhode Island right now.

If Facebook is kind of like California, and Reddit is kind of like Texas, then Medium is kind of like Rhode Island, right? If that doesn’t make sense to you now, it will make even less sense after you read this post.
