There is an old joke that goes something like this:
“A man died and went to heaven. As St. Peter was showing him around they saw the streets of gold, the gates of pearl and all of the mansions that were scattered all around.
In the middle of the tour the man looks at St. Peter and says “What is that giant brick wall for?”
St. Peter says “That’s where we have to keep all of the West Virginians or they would all go home every weekend.”
While that joke may be played-out and a little bit corny, I think it does sum up how most West Virginians feel.
