24 Astronauts and 7 U.S. Presidents
 

Can't be wrong: they prove how many incredibly sensible and intelligent people come from Ohio.

So, individual bar owners cannot decide whether or not they want to allow smoking in their bar. They cannot weigh the options, whatever factors they want to consider, and make the decision to make their VERY OWN bar smoking or non-smoking, thus allowing the public to decide if they want to go into a certain establishment or not. Nope, The Gubmint says NO, thou shalt not smoke.

But wait! Individual bar owners shall soon not be able to tell people that they can't come into the bar packing heat. Of course, we trust that most people will follow the guidelines and not drink when they're packing heat :lol2: but short of a patdown before said customer starts buying alcohol, how would we know?

So, you cannot kill yourself (thirty years later) in a bar that sanctions smoking but you can BE killed in twenty minutes by some gun-toting drunk.

Even the majority of thinking gun lovers thinks this makes no sense.

GAWD I love the great state of Ohio. Not.

That is pretty stoo-pit.

Then again - you can't drink in many states, yet you can join the services and go kill people ... or be killed :eyebrow:


oHIo also has this guy - he is purty special.

omg! someone on the internet is wrong about something!


8 presidents! 8!

*snortle*

I probably forgot to count Harding. I'm not sure of his citizenship anyway, look at that middle name! ;)

And damn, that's in the thread title, destined for posterity. Years from now someone will laugh at me. :mecry:

LOOK!!!!!

See, what it is thar, is that William Henry Harrison was actually born in Virginia and settled in Ohio...so he goes on and off the list depending on who cares. :p:

So I wasn't exactly *wrong.* (preens and flips ponytail)

Well, it seems like if you add him to the president column, you would need to take the Wright brothers off that other column, since they went off to North Carolina to fly the plane they invented in Ohio.

Personally, I'd keep the Wright brothers and drop Harrison.

Absolutely! I stopped at the gas station and there was a North Carolina tag, which reads: first in flight. Uh, no. First in the correct landscape for testing. :lol:

We'll lose Harrison. We still have way more prezzies. (Slinks away)

Solution: No Smoking Guns

(check the wording of the law to see if it specifies people)

The time frame of the Presidencies is interesting. Drop the outlier Harrison and they clump for some kind of Ohio Golden Age. 1869-1923

Ohio has teh image problem.

Plus, it's a stoopit place to live. Too. Forking. Hot. (and humid).

Silly me, that time frame is pretty much The Gilded Age.

:D

How the heck do you get them to light?

And the Age of the Astronaut (the assssstroNAUT, the assstronaut) didn't start until, like, the 60s. :lol:
