I Kill Me

I'm standing at the reception desk talking to a radio station employee as a woman comes in the front door and approaches the desk to submit a press release.

Woman: Hi. I'm from the Wyoming Mental Health Institute. (Hands over press release.) We're changing our name.

Me: You're changing your name? Well that's just crazy!

They all just looked at me. Wyoming-ans have no sense of humor.

Well, true to form, you cracked me up.

yeah...you actually kill me, too. I save my Pie read until that part of the day that really sucks. You poke a great hole in the suction. Thanks.

I believe they prefer to be called Wyoming-ites. My sources on the ground tell me there is also a small separatist faction which prefers the term Wyoming-istas. They tend to be the more indigenous. Through personal experience I have learned one goes there at one's peril.

Mr. Amaya, I believe one is relatively safe going to Wyoming, as long as they bring their own manifesto with them, due to the geographic proximity to Montana.
