​Well, Roy, I can certainly sympathize with the consternation you are
toting around ​here.  But you have to realize it was not I who built the
first structure in the area that would eventually become the geographical
center of the Continental US.

I chose that  line as a matter of common sense - a center line is true;
just like the imaginary one you had in your bedroom to keep your brother on
his side only this line is fact.

That's the facts and my story and I'm gonna stick to it

1) you're on the east side of the line​

​2) being on the east side of the line you are an easterner

3) you have the option of moving to the west side of the line and not being
an eastern puke
