Rumor has it that Jay West may have mentioned these words:
And ya know... VCF "midwest" is probably a
misnomer. Give there's an East
and West, this would should probably be called "Central" :)
Ignoring the smiley for a second, I _think_ that it's from a time when most
people were on the east coast, and where we are was half-way to the west
coast - therefore "mid-west," or mid-way to the western shore. ;-)
A lot of people say I reside in the midwest, but I always tell 'em I'm in
"the way the hell North" - but they never seem to know where that actually
is.... but other than "nowhere" I'm not in the middle of anything, west or
otherwise! ;-)
