Previously at Miss Cellania: Similar lists for Colorado, New Jersey, Manitoba, The South, Australia, and New York City, and more jokes about Texas, Georgia, Washington, DC, Kentucky, and Kentucky again. And other places.

California has the fifth largest economy in the world, YES THE WORLD! Not to mention that it is home to most of the leading edge technoledgy industries in the country.
So while "Miss Cellania" is from KENTUCKY, the state that puts warning labels on its science books! I'm perfectly happy to let others bask in their stupidity while I'm basking in the California sun.
So, relax, will ya'll? If you don't find it funny, just go away.
Nice post.
Greetings from the Badlands,
