Tell us how your home state (city, country) got its name

There was an indian chief who was allergic to mouse shit.

Of course his tribe respected him and made a priority of keeping the local mouse population under control, so he really had nothing to worry about - that is, until the first boatloads of settlers arrived from England. The english ships were full of mice, who had nothing to do during the entire voyage except to reproduce and shit - and by the time they reached the new world they were knee-deep in the stuff, which they proceeded to track all over the place. So, when indian chief came out to greet them, watery-eyed, red-faced and breathing laboriously, he pointed down to their feet and said: Ah... ahh-h-h... Mouse-.. AH-CHOO!.. -shits.



Thus, the land became known as Mouseahchooshits, or in its modern spelling, Massachusetts.

 

LOLOLOLOL! That was good!
