Dorothy: "Toto... we're not in Kansas anymore." / Toto: "You're right. There are far greater than 27.3% alcohol-related driving deaths per year. It can't be Kansas." I think that could have been a great set of alternate lines for 'The Wizard of Oz' between Dorothy and Toto. It's accurate too, which is so important in movies about witches and talking lions.
Interestingly, Kansas is known as the Sunflower State, and sometimes if you go to really fancy bars they'll do stupid stuff like put a sunflower in your drink so they can charge you $5 more. Or they'll burn a lemon peel and throw it in there. Because the reason why we go to a bar is to buy flowers and lemon peels. SMH.
