My wife and I were driving through morning traffic on the way to work. I glanced to my left and saw a car with Maine license plates and a University of Maine license plate holder.

Me: *Casually* “Which state has only one syllable in its name?”

She pondered for a second.

Wife: “Maine.”

Me: “And which state borders only one other state?”

Wife: *Instantly* “Maine!”

Me: “And which state is secretly ruled by a mysterious cabal of potato people?”

Wife: “Maine!”

Me: “Exactly so.”
