Just Ask Georgia: 12/28/2022

Georgia, I have a question,

I’m so lost! Isn’t NFL just for the U.S.?! How does New England have a team?????? New England isn’t part of the United States! I just had this same argument with someone who told me Georgia is a country, not just a state. Idiots!

New England is England

Dear New England,

Oh, sweet summer child. New England is the northeast corner of the USA, made up of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont - NONE of which are in England. The New England Patriots are based in the greater Boston area - which, if you need help here, is in Massachusetts.

With love, Georgia

Georgia, I have a question,

My pup gets no respect. Other dogs pee on him, fight with him, and tease him at doggie daycare. If I shave my golden retriever like a lion, will the other dogs respect him more?

Need to Man Up

Dear Man Up,

Not only will your dog not get more respect from the other dogs because of a haircut, but you may also lose respect from the other dog owners. However, if that’s the haircut you want your pup to rock, go for it. Maybe your pup’s self-esteem will improve with a new do?

With love, Georgia

Georgia, I have a question,

Where do lost socks go when they go missing? I just got twelve pair of socks for Christmas and I am already missing three from washing them! Where do they go?? They were expensive!

Lost stockings

Dear Lost,

This is an age-old question that has no scientific answer. Millions of dollars have been spent to find the answer but, hence, none. Don’t ever spend a bundle on socks, because the most expensive ones ALWAYS go missing first. Count this as a learning lesson and pray the rest don’t go missing as well.

With love, Georgia

Georgia, I have a question,

Why is the word for “a fear of long words,” hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, so long?

Hating Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Dear Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia,

Say hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia five times fast. Now do it again. Now again. And again.

But really, I have no answer for you...but wasn’t that fun?

With love, Georgia
