Are there any better people than the Missourians? I think not. People who call Missouri home are intelligent, tough and adventurous, to start. Here are ten reasons why Missourians are the best people in the country; I’m sure you can think of even more!
- Missourians are adventurous.
Lynn Dieter/flickr Spelunking is just one of the many crazy things Missourians do for fun. And with more than 6,000 caves, can you blame us?
- We know how to relax.
Kevin Harber/flickr We basically invented river floating, and we’re really, really good at it.
- Missourians are brave.
Vincent Parsons/flickr Huge storm rolling in and tornado sirens going off? Whatever. We’re not afraid.
- We know the right way to cook a pig.
Stephen Bolen/flickr If you’ve ever once had BBQ in this state (and of course you have), you know that Missourians have mastered the art of slow-smoking pork.
- Missourians can BAKE.
Annie/flickr Gooey butter cake. Is there anything better? Nope.
- We’re not sheeple here.
Mark Goebel/flickr Just because someone says something is true, doesn’t mean it is. The Show Me State’s fine citizens know how to use their critical thinking skills.
- We’re loyal.
Jonathan Steffens/flickr Just ask any Mizzou fan.
- People from Missouri help each other out.
United Way of Greater St. Louis/flickr We’re ready to help our neighbors, whether they need help with yardwork or someone to give them a lift to the grocery store.
- We’re oh so patient.
Alexander Synaptic/flickr Because driving behind one of these guys for five miles helps you gain some incredible skills in the patience department.
- We’re very literate.
