What Your Vagina Would say if it Were a State

Ever heard of The Vagina Monologues?  Whether you said “yes”, “no” or “what’s a vagina” (you poor, sweet soul), I have a fun new game for you*.  Gather your funniest friends, think up a broad category and ad-lib your way into either gut-busting hilarity, the sweet thrill of despair or if you’re lucky…both!

“If my vagina were a [category], it would be [example] because [reason]”

Today’s topic of choice are these United States**. Let’s go!

*The Vagina Monologues is a serious, groundbreaking work of art that defined feminism for a generation of women and this article is in no way seeking to disparage or otherwise mar its reputation or followers. As I told my fried Will, however, it’s still probably not something you want to see the stage adaption of on a first date.

**The states that make up the USA are full of wonderful people and contribute to a great nation. That’s what a Republican would tell you. What I’d tell you is that if you didn’t want people writing humor about you, don’t live up to your stereotypes so well.
