Residents
of Kansas and Nebraska to Switch
Headline
Finds Home Under "...And Moronic News From Other States"
Tagline In Several California Newspapers

Residents of Kansas and Nebraska will soon switch
to each others' state, in a move described by common neighbor
Colorado as 'lengthy'. |
7/30/03 -
The grass is always greener on the other side ... of the state
line. Ain't that clever!
The passing
of separate legislative efforts in Nebraska and Kansas means the
entire population of the two states have successfully cleared the
final hurdle in their bid to swap residency.
Kansas, the
15th largest state, lies just south of Nebraska. The nation's 16th
largest state. And while Kansas mainly produces cattle and wheat,
Nebraska produces cattle and corn. The differences end there.
Longtime North
Platte, Nebraska resident Paul Spencer says he looks forward to
now becoming a longtime resident of Kansas.
"I've always
thought that they had it better in Emporia, Kansas. I can't wait
to find out." says the soon-to-be-slightly-disappointed Spencer.
In fact, residents
of both states will notice much will remain the same. The same chain
restaurants, same featureless landscape, and, of course, the Walmarts.
Some wouldn't want it any other way.
"The
state bird, tree, and insect are the same, and I like that,"
says Betty Getty of Wichita, Kansas. "I couldn't live in a
state that didn't endorse the Meadowlark, Cottonwood, or Honeybee.
I just couldn't. Really."
The Federal
Bureau of Useless Studies pulled an all-nighter updating their Global
Ludicrousness Index, only to then spend the following evening updating
again per California's recall vote. In a related story, residents
of inner-Detroit are in talks with those in the greater Baghdad
area, as both believe the other party will get the short end of
the deal.
