The classy sign you see before you is actually the Kentucky State motto, “You honk, we drink.” It apparently came from the teachers union and their slogan, which was “You exist, So We Drink.” Just to confirm – we are telling a joke here.
The actual motto of the State of Kentucky is “United We Stand, Divided We Fall,” which was actually the motto to promote the movie “Captain America: Civil War.” So you can imagine how upset we were when Colonel Sanders didn’t make a cameo in the post-credits scene. We waited two and half hours to not see that white suit master! But after the movie, we went to KFC anyway, so it’s all good.
Indiana (Part 2)
In most states, tractors are used for agricultural purposes and it's just this thing that farmers use as part of their jobs. But Indiana is the state where people ride tractors for fun. Because there is absolutely nothing in the world to do there. There’s a reason why it’s called the Crossroads of America.
You get to the crossroad and you literally don’t know which way to turn, every way is worse than the next. So all you can do is drive in any direction as far as you can and hope that it doesn't take too long to make it to the next state. Word advice though - do this with a car, not a tractor.
Iowa (Part 2)
When it comes to restrooms, you want to feel as comfortable and that you have some level of privacy to do your business. In an amusing yet telling photograph, someone snapped a selfie while inside a public restroom in Iowa.
Puzzled and slightly perplexed, the individual couldn't help but express their bewilderment at the unusually short stall walls in Iowa's rest stops. But this maybe says more about the people of Iowa, who are naturally very curious individuals. Just as the stall walls offer little privacy, Iowa is a very open place, where people are expected to let each other into their lives.
Louisiana
If we are going to be totally honest, the only city that really matters in Louisiana (to tourists, at least) is New Orleans. In N'Orleans, as they say there, you can get fat on giant beers, shrimp gumbo, and po-boy sandwiches. Not to mention party for more hours than there are in a day.
Where else would you build a whole city under sea level and offer a ton of excess water and lax nudity laws? Sounds pretty damn fun! With all of that consider, we might just take a week off to go for Mardi Gras. And there's also this bar in New Orleans, with these wacky signs at the front.
Maine (Part 2)
Welcome to the state where you fall in love with Moxie, not with humans. And in life, you need to have plenty of moxie to succeed. In Maine though, it's not a character trait. It is a type of soda.
Moxie is a local soda brand that is apparently as bad as the state. Can’t they just be like the rest of Americans and drink themselves to diabetes with Coca-Cola? We imagine that Moxie has some secret ingredients like maple syrup or moose blood. Or maybe Stephen King came up with the recipe in one of his books. Who knows?
