    Like squid what was last dollar you spent in Metro NY?

    You mean other than when I went there last year or…?

    (Believe it or not, us “midwestern folk” have access to cars and airplanes and such. Those inventions have made it west.)

    My mother is a New Yorker. She grew up in Rockaway Beach. I’ve been there many, many times.

    Also, believe it or not, immigrants also come to the Midwest. Again, believe it or not, there is land to the west of you that people live on. We even pay taxes! Just like you do! Isn’t that amazing? On top of that, we have the exact same number of chromosomes as the average New Yorker.

    You wouldn’t think it because we don’t call our convenience stores bodegas, but we are members of the homo sapiens species.
