After you live in Ohio for a while you get used to the common questions that everyone asks to instigate small talk. I'm sure it's the same for people from another country, or people with big scars.
"What's it like over in Germany?"
"Did you get mauled by a dog?"
"Why don't you hang out with chicks from Ohio?"
That was always my favorite. Women from Ohio.
You see, It was always my witty response to say that there are three types of women in Ohio.
- Fat
- Handicaped / retarded
- Pregnant
It seemed like it made sense. People in Ohio just accelerated the whole 'child bearing' process a little more than the rest of the world. People get married at 16, and since they don't go to college, start families at the age of 18. By the time you were 20 you were either unwanted (fat || retarded) or already taked (read: knocked up). It was a common sight, while walking through the mall, to see a 17 year old pushing a stroller around with a strapping 2 year old child, or to see a 20 year old attractive woman, with three kids.
Well now, I have the proof:

Like I say people... I don't make this shit up.
