North To Wapakoneta

Look for the black and white cow, the water tower, the high school where astronauts grew up to be dancers. If you come from a foreign land truck-stops provide rest and release. Be sure to always wear plaid. 90 miles east of Wapakoneta on US 33, you can catch a small plane out. If you are caught unawares be sure to visit the bicycle museum. The young women are the fairest in the land. Freckles are still legal. Males are predominantly red faced. There is very little prejudice against corn-dogs and hogs. Drugs of choice can be found. If you drive a banana yellow Chevy Corvette you are asking for trouble. Information regarding how to leave can be had at the Dairy Queen. A comely girl works there part-time. She may look at you as if you had horns growing out of your head, but keep nodding and smiling, until she points a finger southward. It’s a straight shot down I-75.
