East of the Mississippi Mystery
AT OVER 40 FEET, IT'S THE TALLEST STATUE OF A SKATEBOARDING SQUIRREL IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. ...WAIT, WHO IN THE HECK...BRAZIL? SOUTH AFRICA? AUSTRALIA? SQUIRRELS AREN'T EVEN NATIVE THERE... I LOVE THE INSTANT MYSTERY CREATED BY QUALIFIERS LIKE "EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI" OR "IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE".
A cartoon shows a tiny squirrel statue being described as the tallest skateboarding squirrel statue in the Northern Hemisphere. The qualifier sounds precise but creates instant confusion about where the statue might be, prompting increasingly absurd guesses such as Brazil, South Africa, and Australia. It is used as a reaction to oddly specific wording that raises more questions than it answers.
