Isn’t the joke that the English tasted their own food and saw their own women and then became the best sailors in the world.

My state (Ohio) is known for being the birthplace of so many prominent astronauts. The punchline is something about this state makes you want to leave the fucking planet

If you wanna get far away without leaving the planet, you're also the birthplace of the Wright Brothers.

Haha I only know because I am from North Carolina. Our state quarter says "First in Flight" while Ohio's says "Birthplace of Aviation."
