But Officer, I promise! We weren't going to have Sex with that Goat!
Yesterday, police officers discovered a live goat in a storage room at a Western Kentucky University fraternity house. Officials didn’t know how long the goat had been held captive, but according to a local Bowling Green television station, the goat didn’t have any food or water and was standing in its own urine and feces. Some members of the fraternity told police the goat was going to be used in a hazing ritual. Apparently, the idea was to make some of the pledges think they were going to have to have sex with the goat. (I didn't think we still had people like this living in America.)
I imagine this incident will dominate the father-son telephone conversations for quite some time.
Pa: Boy, I reckon I heard something about you having some sort of problem at that there college you go to.
Son: Oh, it’s nothing major, pa. We were having some fun at the fraternity house and the cops ended up getting pissed off because we had a goat in the closet.
Pa: You had a goat in the closet? Now, why in the hell is the law mad at you for that? Did you tell them that you isn't livin in New York City? You should have told them that this is Kentucky, and in Kentucky, it ain’t uncommon for people to have goats out here.
Son: Well, they actually seemed more concerned that a bunch of us were going to have sex with the goat.
Pa: Son, as long as you're gentle, ain’t nothing wrong with that.
And folks, this is why you can add all members of the Western Kentucky University Alpha Gamma Rho house to the list of people who should not be allowed to procreate.

But this is Kentucky we are talking about. Do we expect anything better from Kentucky? Should anyone expect anything better from Kentucky?
No.
While Kentucky may not necessarily be as bad as Detroit, New Orleans and New Mexico, it is pretty bad and there should be low expectations for anything involving Kentucky.

I visited Kentucky for the first time over the summer (meaning I stayed for a little bit of time as opposed to driving right through the state). I actually left somewhat impressed. However, on my flight from DC to Louisville, as we were approaching the runway, I asked the guy sitting next to me why KY was called the Bluegrass state.
"The grass looks green to me."
He said, "I have no idea."
I replied, "Are you from Kentucky?"
"Yes, I am."
"How long have you lived here?"
"All my life."
"Yet you don't know why your home state is called the Bluegrass state?"
"No, I don't."
Thinking, "Well this ought to be an interesting trip."
