LOL!!! I lived in 3 cities in California. Couldn't tell you the miles to the border from any of them but can tell you almost exactly how long it would take from each of them.
The Colorado one should be changed to Boulder. Boulder is a very granola town but most of Colorado is much more conservative.

You can live in Kentucky where...
The rules of the road are whoever crosses the yellow line first has right away.
You sit at a green light for two minutes before you go through it if you are the first one in line.
You park in the firelane at all stores,so you don't have far to walk.
You wait until you do not have a passing zone,stomp the gas and try to run five cars off the road while heading at a 18 wheeler in the other lane.
You always drive with you bright headlights on,even during the day.
