Let's see what some famous people have to say about Comaha. Feel free to add to this list.

Les Nessman. News Director WKRP AM radio in Cincinnati.

Les, upon learning that Bailey Quarters would not go with Johnny on vacation after Johnny Fever's travel agent had issued plane tickets to Comaha for his vacation instead of Jamaica issued the following statement:

"Ooohhh, Nebraska. I'd love to go to Omaha. It's one of our nation's leading pork packing centers. The terrain there is so level, so flat, so relaxing. I've often fantasized about going there. It would be like a dream come true. Oh take me John, take me".

Resembling a tiny bite taken out of Nebraska fighting 1st (congressional district), the 2nd (congressional district) is known as the part of Nebraska with people. It is home to Omaha, the largest city in Nebraska, which boasts the tower at First National Center, the tallest structure between Minneapolis and Denver. Omaha is also the home of ConAgra Foods, owners of Hunt’s catsup, the number two catsup in America, which, as condiments go, is like being the tallest structure between Minneapolis and Denver. And what goes great with catsup? How about meat in a box. Omaha Steaks are some of the most delicious in the world. So thick, so juicy so mouth watering, I could really go for a free box of those steaks for mentioning their wonderful product on the show right now. (wink)

The second (cngr. dist.) is also home to Warren Buffet, the Oracle of Omaha. Buffet is the second richest person in the world. Not to be confused with Jimmy Buffet. Here’s an easy way to tell them apart: Jimmy Buffet is a Caribbean folk rocker looking for his lost shaker of salt, Warren Buffet employs a strategy of arbitrage positions in mergers of acquisitions. Now you know the difference. The second is situated just outside of the area known as Tornado Alley. But it’s suffered its share of devastation, such as the Easter Sunday tornado of 1913, the Omaha tornado of 1975 and whatever hit Omaha native Nick Nolte. And Omaha is one of the country’s largest telecommunication centers, employing over 30,000 individuals who field nearly 20 million toll free calls per day. Omaha citizens are great on the phone because they don’t have accents. They sound like they’re from nowhere, which is partially true.

LOL I loved that one especially the part about us sounding like we are from nowhere. So true.

I loved that whole series; I got hooked on that show because I wanted to hear him make fun of Indianapolis in better know a district. Sadly, that day never happened.
