I remain mortified almost thirty years after scrawling the words "Coke machine guy don't take English" on a handwritten cardboard sign that said "Coke machine don't take dimes" - and then turning around with my pen and finding myself looking straight into the withering gaze of the Coke machine guy.
The liquor laws of Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri were (and I think still are) vastly different. Do your research before finding a place to have a nice meal with drinks.

When I was there...well Overland Park, you had to pay to join a "club" before they would serve you drinks. But that was 35 years ago giver or take. Dumb.
Nah. I’ve lived in the suburb next to OP for 25 years, about two blocks from State Line Road. Prices are a little higher in Kansas and hours aren’t as convenient. Unless you need to make a liquor store run at 8 am on Sunday, it’s no hassle. The smaller towns to the west may be a different story though. I think there are even a few dry counties.
When I was growing up in KC in the '70s, you could drink 3.2 beer in Kansas at 18, but had to be 21 to buy liquor across the border in Missouri, and the Kansas laws for liquor over 21 were pretty arcane. Federalism at its finest.
You've heard of medical tourism? Kansas is a specialty state. The state flower is the blooming sphincter. The state bird is the ruby-throated proctologist. The state animal is a flashlight. I think their license plates say "Bend Over Or Die"
Thanks. I was traveling on biz but went to the Reds Brewers game. It was a lot more fun than last year, where I spent my 60th birthday having my second surgery because of an infection I contracted from a hip replacement procedure. Still on antibiotics....

Good God they know how to treat you right!
Are you going to Kansas City?
We had to dance to that in 7th Grade Gym class.
Fake news. Uranus hardest hit.
Jan & Dean changed the "and I'm going to get me one" to and I'm going to get me some.
Well, Two Girls For Every Guy you know..
When did they stop teaching spelling to sign painters?
...some righteous smoked meat. Too good to fit in only one state.
How do you know they’re women?
It’s KC where the men are men, and the women are men, and the steers are nervous...
It’s photoshopped.

KC was once a wide open border town that produced lots of American cultural icons all by itself. Harry Truman was a notable one.
I missed their poster about the quantity of good dentists in KC also: "No one does oral better"

Sign painters are always illiterate. It's a rule. Sort of like web content writers.
Wow. Now it's a party!
" . . . just like your Mom."
The only thing missing is "u"!

I used to sing that song all the time as a small child. For a while I actually thought I made it up, not remembering where I got it.
It's delusions all the way down.
It's the 25 million part that's the real joke here... Kansas City gets 25 million tourists a year like I'm a Chinese jet pilot.
They got some hungry women there and they really make a mess outta you

Not always, sometimes they're dyslexic. That's how I ended up once working at a plant that had a 'Pedestrain Crossing' sign in the truck lot.
The sign painter grew up on the street with the Slow Children sign.
Once we see that it was P-Shopped--with conclusive proof--there isn't really much to talk about. Is there?
My first wife was from Kansas City. Crazy? Yes. Little? Nope.

That Wilbert Harrison "Kansas City" video was filmed on my second birthday.
Hey, it's something.
Hey, it's something.
Happy Belated Birthday! (May 2)
....and ahm a-gonna git me one!
I'm guessing that this is a cafe post because of the photo at Reddit.
There's a fellow at CTH named listingstarboard. He's advocating Make Iran Persia Again
How can something so wrong, feel so good??

Other than butt-sex, nothing.
" Kansas City gets 25 million tourists a year like I'm a Chinese jet pilot."
i'll bet they count people flying through the KC airport hub as tourists
They've gone about as 'fer' as they can go.

....and the spent condoms on the truck stop parking lot.

Oh, Coke machine guy take English. Coke machine guy take English real good.

I did not see that coming.
I guess KC never does ...
Kansas City no longer has a 12th and Vine, but a monument marks the former location.
I'm gonna get me one.
"It's the 25 million part that's the real joke here... Kansas City gets 25 million tourists a year like I'm a Chinese jet pilot."
They have it nailed if you count changing planes at the airport.
Stay away from the crazy. It used to be you just had to worry about the drama until it ended. Nowadays that's just the start of your punishment.
You've heard of medical tourism? Kansas is a specialty state.
The state flower is the blooming sphincter.
The state bird is the ruby-throated proctologist.
The state animal is a flashlight.
I think their license plates say "Bend Over Or Die"
26 million if you’d just relax.
What I don’t get is how anyone got from that to the version that the Beatles covered.
