When you’re from Louisiana, you get used to some silly questions when you travel. Sometimes, they are rude, often, they are ignorant–but we don’t mind. We always want to let people know about the riches of our amazing state. Here are the top 12 questions people ask when they find out you’re from Louisiana:
- Are you from Los Angeles?

- Is everything OK since Katrina?
Wikicommons First of all, what do you mean ok? Katrina unleashed destructive force that fundamentally altered the course of thousands of lives forever. Not to mention Rita. I just don’t even know where to start with this question.
