Maine and Massachusetts Get Into An Argument - 1822

We pick things up in the middle of their fight.

Massachusetts: …Look, I came first, so I’m taking it. It’s better suited for me anyway.

Maine: That’s ridiculous. It works just as well for me as it does for you. Plus, I’m much, much bigger. Have you seen my forests? HUGE!

MA: Oh, is that how we’re deciding things now? Is your dad going to beat up my dad next?

ME: No, I was just saying…

MA: Well I’m just saying that the port of Boston, just last year, took into over $1,200,000 in textiles and grains. That’s 22% of the nation’s total economy. What did you bring in? Some lobsters?

ME: That’s uncalled for.

MA: Look. I was a state before you. I make more money than you. I have a larger population. I’m taking it!

ME: But I…

MA: NO! It’s mine! MINE! Got it?

Silence

ME: Fine. I guess I’ll just go by ME then…

Assuming that someone had stolen jeans and left their old ones, I get down on my hands and knees and go to pick them up. Well, they were our jeans....and they were wet. Some lady who was trying on jeans peed in them and on the floor, and I got to discover it. I immediately dropped them and sprinted from the fitting rooms to the bathroom (that is on the other side of the store) to wash my hands. I washed them pretty much raw, but even so, I feel like they will never be clean.
