The mocking saying “I have a beach front property in Kansas to sell you”

243 views

Okay, I understand Kansas is a landlocked state ocean-wise, But!!!

Does it not have rivers or lakes at all?

Are the shores of lakes and rivers not considered proper beaches?

Does the term “beach front property” only apply to residencies near the ocean or at least a very large sea?

None of the above but nobody cares?

This is the descendant of an old joke from the 60’s about California and the San Andreas fault. People talked about California falling into the sea, so people were selling beach front property in Arizona. This paralleled an even older joke line about selling you swampland in Florida.

So, it became a generalized joke about selling beachfront property in (land locked location).
