May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
If attacked by a mob of clowns, go for the juggler.

Up in Northern Minnesota I couldn't believe how much alcohol those people poured down including the women in the Winter time. There just wasn,t anything to do in the small Northern towns, but drink. 4 wheel drive and snowmobiles were required. I'd visit my cousin who was a miner up in the iron range, and outside of tackle football without pads, dancing Polkas in a bar full of drunken miners swinging their ladies around on a Polka floor was the next closest thing. Brutal.

I was able to say yes to everyone.  The date one was done many times during high school.  I live north of highway 8 now so I know about northern WI.

Every one of those hit home. When I was just a couple of years out of high school I built prefab homes for Wick Building systems  and they actually layed everyone off for a week during the national holiday (Deer hunting) because they had so many vacation requests.
