The Four Corners Is a Monument But Not a National Monument

You ever been to The Four Corners?

Is that the store in the mall…

No.

…I mean that place over on Jasmine Avenue...

No.

Oh. Then, no. What is it?

The Four Corners is the place where four states intersect.

Doesn’t that happen all over the country?

No. There’s only only place it happens.

Seriously? There’s no way. How could it not happen more than once with all our 50 states?

I’m not lying to you, man. That’s why it has it’s called “The Four Corners” not “One of the Many Places In Our Nation Where Four States Intersect.” Haven't you ever seen a map of the US?

Yeah, like in fourth grade. What four states?

Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

Cool.

Yeah.

We should go there. How far is it?

777 miles.

How long would that take to drive?

12, 13 hours.

Maybe not.

Eh, costs three bucks to get in anyways.

So you don't raise any objection to paying for the gas to drive for 13 hours but the $3 to get in is a deal breaker for you?

That place is out in the middle of nowhere. Out in the middle of the western desert. Something like that they should be thrilled if people even come.

It’s three bucks, man. Are you really that cheap?

No, I’m just saying…

You’re just saying that you really are that cheap.

No, I’m not. I’m just saying…. Uh…you know what? You’re right. That is pretty cheap of me to say that.

Thank you. That’s good of you to say so.

Yeah, well.

So do you want to go?

To The Four Corners?

Yeah.

Mmm not really. You?

Nah.
