I was recently on vacation with my family when we stopped at a hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. The front desk clerk asked me where I was from, and I told him Peoria. What question do you think the desk clerk asked me next?
A. “Peoria? Isn’t that Richard’s home town?”
B. “Peoria? Isn’t that the place people like to make fun of?”
C. “Peoria? Do you work for Caterpillar?”
D. “Peoria? Home of Big Al’s?”
E. “Peoria? Is that where they’re building that new Global Immersion Theater?”
UPDATE: The answer is A. The conversation went like this:
“Where are y’all from?”
“Peoria, Illinois.”
“Peoria? Isn’t that Richard’s home town?”
“Yes, yes it is. He wasn’t too proud of his home town, though.”
“Yeah, born in a whorehouse he said, but was that true or just part of his act?” he asked rhetorically. “He was a very multi-talented man.”
D – Home of Big Al’s
D.
A. Richard Pryor’s hometown.
Future home of Anthony Weiner’s Thunder-Down-Under, Peoria’s Chippendale answer for the horny housewife.
Hmmmm.. I’m guessing C. However, a question I usually get isn’t listed: “How far is that from Chicago?”
snicker
I do know that Peoria is famous for Big Al’s. I’ve had people mention that to me from faraway places.
Definitely D.
I have to guess D. It’s the second thing a guy said to us in Lake of the Ozarks once he found out where we were from. At least the first thing he mentioned was the Peoria Chiefs.
I’m going with D.
1 out of every 4 people in Atlanta is from Peoria.
B
Home of Big Al’s.
D
All of the above.
When can we start the debate about the newly proposed 4-year state university starting up in Peoria?
Thank you all for playing. The answer is A. Congrats to “shay” for coming up with the correct answer!
I heard that Peoria’s big porn king-pin moved his illegal whorehouse too close to the nursery school daycare. Does big national disgrace wash his john’s semen off the sidewalk before kiddies step in it?
Happy to be wrong on this one.
DEFINITELY PEDO.
It’s not Big Al’s. It is Bi Gals. Get your facts straight. LOL
