The Great State Of Pachydermania

(My friend and I are both back in town after our first year of college. She’s driving us to get some food. Apparently, while at her school, she learned a new driving game.)

Friend: *punching me in the arm* “New York!”

Me: *confused, punching her back* “Elephant!”

Friend: “No, I saw a New York license plate.”

Me: “Oh, I thought we were just hitting each other and naming states.”

Friend: “No, it’s a game. See, when you see an out-of-state plate, you— ELEPHANT IS NOT A STATE!”

Me: “I was wondering how long that would take.”
