The entire state of Oregon fled sometime early yesterday morning, leaving behind 98,000 square miles of dirt, an old Subaru, and a note that explained, "It's not that we dislike California, but it's like having a neighbor who has way too many people living in their home never paints the house or mows 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 state.
"We can get along with 'pert near anybody," said Kentucky Land Office Director Goby Harkiss.
