Texas vs Virginia

At lunch today:

Me: There is no point in arguing about this any longer: Texas will always be superior to Virginia.

Coworker: Jen, you sill haven’t convinced me.

Me: We were our own country

Coworker: We were one of the 13 original colonies

Me: We were an independent country for ten years

Coworker: My state was named after the virgin queen

Me: Texas means “ally” or “friend". A name from a Native American language, you know – the guys that were here first. Who cares about the Virgin Queen? What’s so special about being named after a virgin?

Coworker: JEN!!

Me: Okay that was tacky, I’ll give you that…
