"And then there's the world famous example of stupidity where the MO state legislature outlawed sex in the state. Of course, they only tried to outlaw homosexual sodomy, but they were in such a hurry to get it voted on, they weren't terribly careful in the language. So they outlawed all sex in the state, even between married couples."

Too bad it didn't stick.

SHOPKEEPER: The wheat is from Kansas, and the molasses comes from Missouri.

GRANDMA SARAH: Well, sir, we'll do without molasses. Anything from Missouri has a taint about it.

GRANDMA SARAH: Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming West. And treading lightly is not my way. (To the shopkeeper) We're from Kansas. Jayhawkers, and proud of it.

SHOPKEEPER: I know how you feel. I'm a Hoosier, myself.

GRANDMA SARAH: Personally, I don't think much of Hoosiers neither.
