\"3046241210_e42fc51449\"<\/a>Dear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I recently met some one from New Hampshire. I don’t know if this sounds ignorant, but I didn’t realize people actually lived there. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Have you ever been to New Hampshire? Can you tell me anything about it? I’d like to impress this fellow the next time we meet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yours Truly,
\nI’m from Iowa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\nDear I’m From Iowa,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve never been to New Hampshire, but I’ve gotten close. According to a map I looked up on the internet- Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont are all very close to New Hampshire. So I’ve practically been there from a geographical standpoint. But culturally, I had to do some learning. Here are some essential facts to know about your Northern neighbor:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

-The New Hampshire State motto is “Live Free or Die”. This is extremely bad-ass for a state motto. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

-Tupperware was invented in New Hampshire in 1098 by Earl Tupper. Presumably he forced his wife to have parties and trick her friends into buying the plastic food storage bins. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

-Pittsfield, New Hampshire made the Guinness Book of World Records by having the most people wear Groucho Marx glasses at the same time. This is a much more respectable way to get in the book then growing out your finger or toe nails. Also, I’m creeped out by the tattoo and piercing guys. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These are obviously really impressive facts. They show that you know people live there, are politically passionate, wear Groucho Marx glasses constantly, and store their leftovers safely. That’s way more than what I know about the people of Canada. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSincerely,
\nPoor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
