Letters: SC a hospitable site for extraterrestrials

I’d like to acknowledge our Legislature’s efforts to confront nonexistent problems. However, there is a real one coming: extraterrestrials. Yes, real aliens.

Which restroom will they try to use? Will they apply for Medicaid? Will they be Clemson or Carolina fans? Will their food be tasty wrapped in a tortilla? Big questions need to be answered.

Make no mistake: They are coming, and when they do they’ll head straight to South Carolina, because our roads will remind them of the surface of their home planet. And there’s no place like home.
