"BOB, HURRY, HURRY! BOB! ROBERT DEED! THAT'S IT I'M GOING BY MYSELF!"
The Iowa State Fair’s Husband Calling Contest

This is some footage from the 2017 Iowa State Fair’s husband calling contest, in which wives compete by calling their husbands. Not on the phone, mind you — by yelling. The winner takes home a ribbon, five bucks, but, most importantly, bragging rights, which are invaluable. I may not have any money, but at least I can brag about how smart and handsome I am. They’re lies, of course, but that doesn’t stop me. Now that I think about it, I suppose I might as well brag about high rich I am too. I’m filthy rich. Like as filthy as my girlfriend’s feet because she never wears socks. Honey you better wash those hooves before getting into bed!
