ENTIRE STATE OF OREGON FLEES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

LEAVES NOTE SAYING IT "CAN'T TAKE LIVING ABOVE CALIFORNIA ANYMORE"

The entire state of Oregon fled sometime early Saturday morning, leaving behind 98,000 square miles of dirt, an old Subaru, and a note explaining, "It's not that we dislike California, but it's like having a neighbor who has a bunch of people living in the garage and doesn't paint their house or fix up the yard." 


Oregon's current whereabouts are unknown but Kentucky wasted no time in expressing interest in moving to the vacant site between California and Washington.  "We can get along with 'pert near anybody," said Kentucky Land Office Director Goby Harkiss.

Imagine Arlo DeFennemeyer's surprise when, during a visit to the Body Worlds show at the Expo Center last weekend, one of the exhibits turned out to be his former neighbor.  "Yep, that's Bob alright.  He had a small head and big feet--I'd recognize him anywhere."


DeFennemeyer said his neighbor, who was identified only by his first name, moved to Arkansas in 1998.  "We lost touch and I always wondered what happened to him," said DeFennemeyer, who added that Bob, "always picked up our mail when we went on vacation."
