Notes
Pennsylvania  (アメリカ)ペンシルベニア州;
Don’t I wish! そうなればいいと思っているんでしょ!

—————————–
My wife was driving from Washington, D.C., to Pennsylvania to meet a friend. She got lost and decided to ask for directions. She stopped at a furniture store. When she asked the owner where she was, he said、”Paradise.” “Paradise” has the same meaning as “heaven.” My wife thought he was kidding and said, “Don’t I wish!” but the man looked at her seriously. “You are in Paradise. This is Paradise Furniture Store.” She looked out and checked the sign. He was right. She was in a city called “Paradise.” Actually, Pennsylvania has some of the most unusual city names of any state in the U.S. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
