I knew ND had to be high on the list. I love the people, but drinking is an Olympic sport up there in the winter.
What else is there to do where it’s flat, and -30f.

I think it is a combination of cold climate and rule by liberals. North Dakota definitely has the former, though not the later.

And it isn't just the winter time. My favorite Sven & Ole joke:

The boys were out on the lake fishing during a hot summer day and not having much luck. Finally Sven hooks an old lamp, pulls it in and decides to give it a rub. Sure enough, a Genie pops out. "You have only one wish I can grant," he announces.

It is hot, they are thirsty and Sven can think of only one thing. "I wish for this lake to be turned into ice cold beer."

"Done", says the Genie, and disappears back into the lamp.

Ole and Sven are delighted and drink their fill. Finally Ole exclaims "Sven, you are an idiot! Now, we either have to row into shore or pee in the boat!"
