There is literally no ocean for 3 states on every side of Kansas, if not more. How on earth are people hunting whales? “It is illegal to put ice cream on cherry pie in Kansas” What kind of Tom Foolery is this? “If two trains meet on the same track, neither shall proceed until the other has passed” Listen, I’m not good at math but this problem doesn’t seem to be adding up. “In Natoma, It’s illegal to throw knives at men wearing striped suits” That’s some chicken or the egg stuff! Can *I* not wear a striped suit and throw knives, or can *they* not be wearing the suite?
