You know why Ohio has so many astronauts right? Because they can't wait to get the fuck off this planet after living there.
Not to mention powered flight was invented in Ohio.
Because people were flying the fuck out as fast as they could, Ohio stepped up its game with other inventions: speeding tickets and stop lights.
It's no coincidence that cash registers, price sticker affixing machines and barcodes were all invented in Ohio too. You can try to leave, but you're gonna have to pay and it wont be easy. Ohio is also where vacuum cleaners and chewing gum were invented.
Think I'm being ridiculous? Just wait and see!
There's a variant of three-ring loose-leaf paper binders invented in Ohio. It's called a "Trapper Keeper". Think about it...
The inventions of Ohio tell a bleak, dystopian tale if one reads between the lines. Interesting that Ohio brought the world freon and leaded gasoline along with gas masks...
