It's understandably gets confusing when you talk about Washington or Washington DC because the names are way too similar. You ever notice that? Of course you have. Whenever I think about Washington and Washington D.C. I just think, " what is this? The Diet Coke of Washington?" It's not like that at all, nor is that necessarily clever. Still, I say it.
I've got some questions for these stats, given the fact that Washington is so close to our Canadian brothers and sister. How much of these stats are coming from Canadians hopping the border and getting their drink on? They could be over here messing with our stats. I can't sleep at night thinking that's happening.
