Wow... I'm surprised I got reviews already... I'm not used to that ;) Thank you!
Please Enjoy~
A handsome brunette was strolling through the fields, holding a heavy basket. He was breathing heavily, setting down the basket. He bent over to the small plants below, his fingers gently plucking away the small pods on the ends. He began to whistle a peaceful little tune, humming every now and then. He hadn't noticed the state standing behind him.
"Hey Alabama! What are you doing?" The boisterous voice of Mississippi sounded. Alabama jumped up, turning around to glare at the blonde.
"Mississippi? What are you doing here?" he asked, heaving as he picked up the basket again. Mississippi shrugged, watching as he dropped a bunch of shell-like pods into it.
"I got bored, so I decided to come visit and see what you were doing," she answered. Alabama looked up at her.
"Just harvesting peanuts. Shouldn't you be thinking of an idea to help raise money?" he asked. Mississippi frowned.
"Well yeah... but you should too, and not be harvesting peanuts," she retorted. Alabama set the basket down, turning back to her with one hand on his hip, the other hand wagging his index finger.
"Actually, I already have. These peanuts are gonna help me raise some money to help out with our cause," he argued. The female state rolled her eyes.
"How is a bunch of peanuts gonna help pay off debt?"
"Peanuts have a whole bunch of uses," Alabama picked up a nut, "I mean, they can be made into peanut butter, peanut oil, and you can just eat them too..."
The state of Alabama is known for it's agricultural background, which includes growing many different kinds crops, especially peanuts. Peanuts were used to make different kinds of peanut products, including peanut butter. It was a man named George Washington Carver who researched the peanut at some collage somewhere. Now there's a man who loved his nuts.
"Peanuts! Get your peanuts here!" Alabama called out over the cheering crowd. Mississippi was among the crowd, and she was staring at the farmer in disbelief.
"This is it? THIS is your plan?" She asked, pointing to the box he was holding. The box was full of packaged peanuts he had grown and harvested from his farm.
"Yeah. Everyone loves peanuts, especially at a baseball game," he said, "PEANUTS! Get your peanuts here!"
"I'll have a bag!" Some random person called. Alabama smiled, fixing the paper hat on his head before he reached in and pulled out a bag. He handed it to the man, who gave him eight dollars in return. Mississippi shook her head, crossing her arms.
"Eight dollars for peanuts?" she said. Alabama snickered.
"Yeah. It's a bit pricey, but it makes plenty of money," he said, stuffing the money into his pocket.
"But you can buy peanuts in a bag like that for two dollars at a local store," Mississippi pointed out. Alabama shushed her.
"Well don't tell them that!" he hissed. Mississippi rolled her eyes.
"This is worse then your inbreeding idea..." she muttered, getting up to leave the stadium.
And that was Alabama's horrible idea. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, am I right?
Anyway, I hope that this was funny enough (even if it was a little short, but I warned you about that) and I hope you stay tuned for the next chapter, featuring Alaska and her idea :D
