One of my favorite state jokes to tell is that Alabama is the only state that Arkansas is allowed to make fun of.

Just like people, every state has its good side and bad side.

So I asked the internet to name a few dumb things about Wyoming. Here is what it said.

Some “dumb” or noteworthy aspects of Wyoming include having the fewest escalators in the United States (only two) and extreme wind that can make it a challenge for everyday life, with residents often joking about the state’s isolation and long distances between towns. Other notable points are its lack of skyscrapers and its very low population density.

I’ll add to that the fact that Wyoming doesn’t have any elevator music. The few elevators the state has don’t go high enough to need it.

The Cowboy State has the second-highest rate of fatal occupational injuries. But that makes sense when you see what we do for a living out here. Wyoming has some risky/scary jobs.

Many Wyoming animals want to kill you, even the ones that can’t.

If the animals don’t kill you, the landscape will. Many people die every year while hiking or falling, or in one of our very hot and acidic hot springs.

Have you seen the movie The Hills Have Eyes? There are people who have lived out in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming for so long that any person they see drives them crazier than they have already become.

But at least Wyoming is not Alabama or Arkansas.
