I lived in Texas for two years. The number of times I had the following conversation was staggering:

Texas is the best place in the world!

Oh? Where else have you been?

I ain't been anywhere else... Why would I go anywhere else? Texas is the best place in the world!

Sometimes there was legitimate confusion on their face. Sometimes it was delivered deadpan. Sotimes it was more of a challenge or threat. It was always flabbergasting...

Texas would be a pretty awesome place, if not for all the Texans. They're insufferable.
