I will soon be in possession of this shirt
because I’ve had the following conversation with people in airports in this country too many times
Person: “Where are you from?”
Me: “Well I’m an Iowan, living in Ohio but working in Idaho for the summer.”
Person with Glazed Look in their Eyes: “Is that where the potatoes are from?”
Me: “Sure, why not.”

Reminds me of the time we went to Canada and told the customs official we were from Iowa and he wrote down OHIO!

I also kind of want the shirt that says “University of Iowa in Idaho City, Ohio”. Is it just the vowels at the end that throws everyone off?
