Have You Ever Heard of the Hatfield and Mccoy Feud?

Tweet

I was born in West Virginia and lived there until I got married. This feud was an ongoing, sometimes violent, feud between families in Kentucky and West Virginia. There are lots of jokes that are directed at those of us who are from West Virginia. I’m sure you’ve probably heard of plenty of them. Like “one of our legs is shorter than the other one” from walking on the hillsides and mountains. Have you ever heard that one? I love West Virginia. It’s a beautiful state despite the fact that some of the hills have been flattened from strip mining. Much of West Virginia is undermined and many creeks and rivers were polluted with bad water coming out of the mines. In recent years, some of these situations have been corrected and further damage has been controlled. Have you ever visited West Virginia?
