I just realized I didn't journey into the Americas via the Berring Straight land bridge 15,000 years ago. Yep, I'm pretty sure I'm a recent immigrant.

1. Please forgive me for this
It's "Bering" and "Strait".

Sorry, can't help it. It's a disease. :blush:

2. I think every state should enforce it's own borders.
We don't want no people from Kansas here.

Hit the road Dorothy. And your little dog too.

4. Once I was just about offered a job
the only catch was that I would have to move to California after a year. It was at that point that I told them I did not want the job. I think I might have loved working as a statistician, but it is better to be a servant in heaven than a king in hell.

11. Since then I have lived in SD, Mn, Wi, Ia, Ne, Mo
and now Kansas. I'm like nomad, or a world traveller.
But I've never seen the Pacific Ocean.

16. do you display tell tale signs of immigrant status ...
do you have brown or black skin?
do you have a beard or heavy moustache? (this includes women),
do you wear a dress? (this does not include women)
do you wear headgear like a turban or sombrero?

if you answer yes to more than one of these questions you should report to your nearest INS office and demand to be deported as a furriner.
