True story: first time my ex visited my family in the Midwest. As we started descending, she saw the perfect graph paper alignment and exclaimed way too loudly just as they throttled back “WOW, IT IS REALLY FLAT”

Certainly that’s what she felt like, but parts of the Midwest are strikingly flat with disturbingly regular road layouts, especially to someone who hasn’t been there before. My brother jokes that the biggest hill near him is the landfill and there’s too much truth to that
It’s very different from the hilly area she was used to, where the joke is more like “the roads are not planned but just developed from wildlife paths “

I guess I must be “ratarded” as well - I don’t get what’s so funny about someone being impressed or otherwise stricken with the landscape of a place they’ve never been to.

…. And blurt it out overly loudly
