Food Joke

This Antartian was out to dinner with some friends and they were talking about states and capitals. The Antartian commented: "I can name every capital to every state and in any order you want!" So the friends wanted to put the Antartian to the test and decided to give it a try. Someone then said: "What is the capital to Wyoming?" The Antartian replied with: "Can't you ask me something harder... the capital of Wyoming is easy... its W!"
