Every True Kansan Has Had These 11 Bizarre Experiences At Least Once

If you are a native (or transplant) Kansan, there a few things that you have come to expect, including idiot outsiders making comments on how our gorgeous state is boring, XXX stores at every exit between Abilene and Junction City, and these other 11 bizarre experiences:

1. The underdogs stealing the show.
