Here in Ohio, there are certain situations unique to our state that could ultimately lead you to the end of your life if you’re not careful. The following are nine circumstances and things to take absolute precaution with if/when you are faced with them.
1) The Ohio State Fair and/or county fairs and fried foods = clogged arteries.
6) Getting in the way of rabid Ohio State football fans, both physically and figuratively. (Don’t get too close to a cheering, rejoicing fan and—whatever you do— don’t cheer for the wrong team.)
9) Mental and physical exhaustion from not being able to keep up with the Ohio-Lottery-box-of-chocolates-Russian-Roulette kind of weather that is Ohio weather.
