You must live in Idaho if...

I am valiantly trying to catch up on my backed-up email inbox. There are lots of comments I've received in the last few months for which I never sent a reply, and by now those emails are so out of date it would be almost embarrassing to answer them, so I'll apologize to anyone kind enough to send an email and who never got a response.

Anyway, a reader sent this some time ago and I thought it was worth a chuckle.
