Wiscoming

In their defense, this is a pretty easy mistake to make. They both start with “W”, they’re both in the United States and they both have cheese.

    Youngsters just don’t remember that we used to call Wyoming Wisconsin. Back then there was just New York, California, Florida, and everything else got called Kansas, Wyoming or Alabama. Now we just have East Coast, West Coast and the fly-over states. It’s easier that way.
