Thread Name: Song Challenge - Sheep or Poodle
Subject: RE: Song Challenge - Sheep or Poodle
Well Charley, I suggested in the other thread that we might send them to NoDak1 as "Russian Brides."

I omitted some other places where they might "pass" due to my provincial thinking about the high transportation costs to other places, and hope no one feels slighted.

1 North Dakoto is populated by some (albeit very few)2 very nice people; but being a remote and relatively unknown and misunderstood place for people in the central US, NoDaks become the "target" for jokes when the "Arky's and the teeth brush" genre gets a little tiresome. Many of the NoDak jokes revolve around sheep, I suppose since they are known to have some. Nobody really believes(?) most of the stories and no offense is intended.

I've heard there might be similar places on the other side of the water?

2 I meant very few people, not just very few nice people.

Dang it - this get into all kinds of quibbling and equivocating. Fortunately I'm not much of a lyricist, so I think I can just slink out of here.
